“She wants to find the majority, which she does not have now. May is trying to persuade some Laborites, perhaps the Liberal Democrats, some of his supporters, to vote in favor. Because of this, she moved the vote. This version from the very beginning was one of the main. She will try to postpone the vote as long as possible, because she understands that a negative result for her means the end of a political career, ”said the expert.
Bruter also noted that May would be difficult to find allies in the issue of secession from the European Union.
“If the voting had happened now, then apart from those who support it, someone from the Liberal Democrats would vote, possibly from small parties. Although, most likely, the Liberal Democrats will not vote "for" because they are opposed to the exit. I think that May will be hard to find supporters, if she could, she would have done it now, ”he concluded.
Earlier, May moved the decisive vote on the agreement on the secession of the kingdom from the European Union in the country's parliament. New voting date, she did not name.
