Brexit: Parliament turns down PM May’s plan: Some say ‘chaos,’ while Europeans are not pleased

COGwriter

Brexit confusion seems to be the state of the UK:

13 March 2019

BRITAIN was last night plunged into chaos once again as MPs voted to kill off Theresa May’s Brexit deal by 391 votes to 242.

Now 993 days after the referendum, and with just 17 days before Brexit, Brits are still in the dark about when or if we will ever leave the EU.

Furious MPs blasted the uncertainty – saying the “wretched soap opera of Brexit continues” as the country heads “back to square one”.

And Cabinet ministers were summoned for a crisis meeting at No10 to work out how to move forward.

Parliament has repeatedly voted against Mrs May’s strategy for leaving the EU on March 29 – last night the Commons laughed and cheered after the the fresh chaos was confirmed.

But without a clear alternative on the table, the latest defeat opens the door to a range of wildly different outcomes – from a cliff-edge No Deal to a second referendum which could cancel Brexit entirely.

Tonight MPs will vote on whether Britain should quit the EU without a deal in 17 days’ time.

But they are expected to oppose the idea – and will instead back a delay to Brexit in a further vote likely to take place on Thursday. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/brexit/8615679/brexit-deal-vote-latest-theresa-may-fails-majority/

It perhaps should be pointed out that Theresa May (see Theresa May ‘determined’ to leave EU in March & should you have a ‘Brexit box’?) and the UK Parliament (see UK’s Parliament votes to not extend Brexit & PM May wants EU to renegotiate Brexit issues; EU not pleased) essentially said within the past two months that they did not want an extension of the Brexit date. But if Parliament does not approve the ‘hard Brexit’ that looks to become the UK plan.

And, if it also rejects the extension tomorrow, then a ‘hard Brexit’ looks like the default plan. Either way, it looks like the UK Parliament is too divided to remain consistent with some of its Brexit-related votes.

The EU is not pleased about what the British have done:

13 March 2019

The European Union presented a unified front after UK lawmakers snubbed concessions and voted down a Brexit deal. Bloc leaders said the UK must justify itself if it wants an extension.

Leaders of the European Union closed ranks on Wednesday, lamenting Britain’s rejection of a Brexit deal while cautiously entertaining the idea of an extension. …

Chief EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said Brussels had nothing more to offer and must now brace for the possibility of a messy divorce. “The EU has done everything it can to help get the Withdrawal Agreement over the line,” Barnier tweeted. “The impasse can only be solved in the #UK. Our ‘no-deal’ preparations are now more important than ever before.”


European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs Pierre Moscovici said the spurned deal was the “last chance” for a Brexit deal and that EU authorities were relatively prepared in terms of customs arrangements in case of a no deal exit. “It is time now for the British to say what they want, now that they’ve said what they don’t want,” Moscovici told France 2 television.

Before the vote, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told Britain, “There will be no third chance.” He said any extension would have to be endorsed by the 27 remaining EU nations and would have to end before EU elections in May. https://www.dw.com/en/brexit-vote-european-union-closes-ranks-in-response/a-47883473

“I am against every extension — whether an extension of one day, one week, even 24 hours — if it’s not based on a clear opinion of the House of Commons for something,” said the European Parliament’s chief Brexit official, Guy Verhofstadt. “Please make up your minds in London, because this uncertainty cannot continue.”

Barnier said “again the House of Commons says what it does not want. Now this impasse can only be solved in the U.K.”

EU Economic Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said Tuesday’s vote increased chances of a British departure that is “disorderly, brutal, like a cliff,” including sudden new customs rules and trade chaos that companies have warned about for months.

The European Parliament was poised to approve measures later Wednesday to deal with the immediate hardship of a “no-deal” Brexit. It was set to back emergency rules to ease the burdens on roads and airports if all trucks suddenly needed to be checked.

The U.K. Parliament has now twice rejected the withdrawal agreement that May spent the best part of two years negotiating with the EU, and the bloc insists there will be no more talks.

Moscovici said “the train has passed two times” and the EU will not renegotiate the deal before the scheduled Brexit date of March 29.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas issued a warning to British lawmakers.

“Whoever rejects the (Brexit) agreement plays with the welfare of their citizens and the economy in a reckless way,” he said.  https://www.apnews.com/0732fc070df44f26b74dab8f207855dd

EU Council President Donald Tusk sent out the following tweet via Twitter last month:

While there is no divine “special place” of punishment nor reward for Brexiters, Donald Tusks comments reveal the intense hatred for Brexit and the UK by many in the EU leadership.

Although I have shown the following before, it still seems to give a significant European view of Brexit:

The above is how Brexit was shown on an English-language test in a school in Germany (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/04/project-fantasy-german-exam-question-debates-brexit-reality).

The UK keeps hoping for a deal better than one that the EU is prepared to provide.

UPDATE 1352 PDT:

13March 2019

MPs have voted to reject leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement.

Theresa May said there was a “clear majority” against a no-deal Brexit but the “legal default” was that the UK would leave without a deal on 29 March if no deal is reached.

MPs will now get a vote on delaying Brexit, said the prime minister.

That vote will take place on Thursday, and if it is passed – and the EU agrees to it – the UK will not leave the EU as planned on 29 March. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-47562995

So, after I made this post this morning, later the Parliament of the UK voted against a “hard Brexit,” but they still do not have an exit plan that the EU has accepted.

Furthermore, the EU does NOT want any positive precedent for any nation leaving the EU.

It may budge slightly, but it simply does not want Brexit to be a ‘success’ and at this stage it is unclear what the UK Parliament wants.

That has further upset the Europeans.

Anti-Anglo-American sentiment and a sense of betrayal by the UK (see also Europe feels betrayed by UK and USA: This will not end well) has also made the Europeans feel that the UK must suffer, even if the EU can have some negative economic consequences.

While economic concerns are high now for the UK, what will ultimately happen will be more than economically brutal.

The idea of Brexit will not turn out well for the UK (cf. Daniel 8:24-25; Isaiah 17:3).

Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes’ writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom “not joining the monster of the European Union to come.” The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union.

Brexit and the fate of Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, the UK, and the USA On April 29, 2017, 27 of the nations of the European Union agreed to certain guidelines for the negotiations with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which gave its notice to leave on March 29, 2017. These guidelines are contrary to what the UK wants. Does the EU intend the UK to pay a price for leaving the EU? What does Spain want? What does the Republic of Ireland want?

Spain wants Gibraltar and Argentina wants the Falklands (also known as the Malvinas). UK Prime Minister David Cameron says the UK will defend the Falklands Gibraltar.
