May does not present anything new: "Plan B" is like "Plan A"

It was anxiously expected that "the British Prime Minister's plan B" would look for Brexit. In fact, May did not present anything new. Above all, he said what he did not want.

British Prime Minister Theresa May presented her "Plan B" to Parliament for an agreement on Brexit. However, he did not present concrete innovations in his speech.

May pointed out in detail what he did not want: a second referendum on leaving the EU in the UK or postponing the resignation date. According to current plans, the United Kingdom will leave the EU on March 29th. All attempts to find the appropriate regulations have failed so far. The exit agreement negotiated by May with the EU – its "Plan A" – had been rejected by the British Parliament last week by a large majority.

In the estimate of Correspondent ARD Annette DitterHowever, May has little chance of obtaining majority vote in the parliamentary vote again. In order to bring hard-line advocates on their side, they must obtain concessions from the EU concessions to the biggest obstacle, the question of the borders between Ireland and Northern Ireland. The EU has so far been categorically excluded, therefore Dittert,

Second "difficult previous" referendum

It could say that the EU will not prolong Article 50 on time, unless a specific plan is in place. An extension of the deadline would also violate the spirit of the referendum. A second referendum would generally be a "difficult precedent".

He can pray for further talks with the EU, in particular on the resolution of the Brexit treaty on the border between Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland. He wanted to consult with the deputies and then go to Brussels with new proposals. The so-called "backstop", which states that the United Kingdom remains in a "customs union with the EU", unless otherwise agreed, is the main criticism of May's adversaries.
