British Prime Minister Theresa May met with members of her cabinet to discuss preparations for Britain's exit from the European Union (BRIC) without a deal, amid strong opposition within parliament to the May agreement.
May said yesterday that the cabinet will discuss the next stage of ensuring the readiness to exit without agreement. She told parliament that the government had already stepped up preparations for potential problems after exiting the EU.
"There will be obstacles in the event of getting out of the union without agreement, in the short term, we want to take every possible step to reduce it."
"It's very true that we are planning to go out without an agreement now," said International Development Minister Benny Moredown, a pro-EU exit.
At the last minute, May postponed a vote on the text of the agreement, which was expected on December 11, in the face of the danger that parliamentarians in favor of Brikast would reject it without concessions, as well as those wishing to remain within the EU.
Labor opposition leader Jeremy Korin has submitted a no-confidence motion from the May government and the Labor Party wants a vote of no-confidence to be held before the end of the year-end from December 21 to Jan. 6.
"It is unacceptable to wait a month until we vote on a serious issue concerning the future of our country," Korin said.
With these divisions, more votes are calling for a second referendum, both for the opposition and for the Conservatives, but May rejects this idea and sees it as a "betrayal of the British people who voted for the exit from the EU by 52 percent in June 2016."
