As the British Parliament prepares for a historic week when MPs will have to debate the exit agreement negotiated by the Prime Minister with the EU, a protest front is being prepared. According to the Telegraph's revelations on Sunday, December 2, the very conservative North Irish Unionist Party and the Labor Party unite to force Pretheria Minister Theresa May to broadcast the legal notes of the Brexit Agreement. According to them, these would hide gaps.

An alliance between the North Unionist Party (Democratic Unionist Party - DUP ), more conservative than the Tories, and the Labor Party, more leftist than it has ever been before, seemed absolutely impossible. And yet, British MPs are ready to do anything to impede Prime Minister Theresa May and prevent her exit agreement from passing the crucial parliamentary vote of December 11.

This time, according to The Telegraph , MEPs accused Theresa May of contempt of Parliament for refusing to publish the legal notes of her agreement. Some people think that the legal language hides gaps that would force the United Kingdom to remain in the customs union and that is why the Prime Minister would refuse to disclose them.

This group of MPs, joined by the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party (SNP), therefore intends to write a letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons to indicate " illegality " of this agreement and delay the parliamentary debate that should begin Tuesday December 4th.

Everything suggests that Theresa May will not be able to gather in a few days a majority to support his agreement . The risk of having emergency legislative elections being organized during the winter break is becoming increasingly important.
