Theresa May granted Brexit delay at EU summit – Live updates
CNNIt’s after 11 p.m. in Brussels and as the summit continues, talk has turned to a hypothetical question: what happens if French President Emmanuel Macron doesn’t play ball and crashes the talks? May’s deal’s last stand: In a mad rush to avoid a no deal, Theresa May could try to reach a compromise with the Labour Party – perhaps confirmatory votes on the future relationship to get the deal approved by Friday. The UK, as we have known since December, can unilaterally withdraw Article 50, thus ending the Brexit process for good and remaining a member state of the European Union. The European Court of Justice said in its ruling that, while the UK can indeed revoke Article 50 unilaterally, it would have to do so in “accordance with its constitutional requirements.” In the opinion of the ECJ’s advocate general, the UK set a precedent of requiring parliamentary approval for Article 50. Therefore, it is is logical “that the revocation of that notification also requires parliamentary approval.” Ramming an act of parliament – or a bill – through in two days is tricky.
