UK Parliament Should Choose Between Current Brexit Deal, No-Deal Scenario - Prime Minister

The UK parliament should decide whether it wants the United Kingdom to leave the European Union without any deal at all, or to support the current agreement reached between London and Brussels, UK Prime Minister Theresa May told the lawmakers on Thursday

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th November, 2018) The UK parliament should decide whether it wants the United Kingdom to leave the European Union without any deal at all, or to support the current agreement reached between London and Brussels, UK Prime Minister Theresa May told the lawmakers on Thursday.

Following more than a year of tough talks on Brexit conditions, London and Brussels finally completed a draft agreement on Tuesday. Late on Wednesday, EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier revealed the contents of the provisional deal, which included agreements on citizens' rights, London's financial settlement, future trade relations, transitional period in the London-Brussels relations and the Irish border issue, among other things.

"The choice is clear. We can choose to leave with no deal, we can risk no Brexit at all, or we can choose to support the best deal to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated," May said.

The prime minister called the reached agreement a "decisive breakthrough" and warned that the no-deal Brexit would mean "more uncertainty and division."
