Appointing Theresa May, who didn\u2019t believe in Brexit, as prime minister was a fatal flaw. That is why she deliberately sabotaged the negotiations and brought about this dog\u2019s Brexit, British politician George Galloway has told RT.<\/p>\n
British Prime Minister Theresa May cancelled a crucial vote on her Brexit deal which was set to be decided on by the House of Commons this Tuesday. She admitted that the vote was cancelled as she feared she would lose it \u201cby a significant margin.<\/em>\u201d The Brexit vote will now happen \u201cbefore January 21<\/em>,\u201d her spokesperson said Tuesday.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0May cancels MPs\u2019 Christmas, Brexit vote will now happen \u2018before Jan 21\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n RT asked political analysts what other possible twists and turns might be ahead.<\/p>\n George Galloway, British politician, broadcaster and writer, called the situation May is in an absolute chaos which is \u201chumiliating the country, her own party and democracy itself.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n He thinks the appointment of a person who didn\u2019t believe in Brexit as Prime Minister was \u201ca fatal flaw<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is an Achilles heel of the entire thing\u2026[May] deliberately sabotaged these negotiations and brought about this dog\u2019s Brexit<\/em>,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u00a0In his view, \u201cthis is not Brexit that she is proposing. And therefore a good one hundred of our own MPs will never vote for it, whatever reassurance she brings back. It is like Chamberlin waving his piece of paper promising peace in our time,<\/em>\u201d said Galloway.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, Theresa May arrived in Berlin for to meet Dutch PM Mark Rutte and Germany’s Angela Merkel for talks to save her Brexit deal.<\/p>\n According to Galloway, the EU leaders \u201cclearly smell blood in the form of a second referendum which they hope would lead to a reversal of the last referendum result<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhether or not they are right about it, it would still leave millions of people very bitter and angry, it would risk social peace in Britain if the first referendum is somehow annulled,<\/em>\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n While there were more calls for a second referendum, if there is one, Galloway suggested, \u201cit would be close either the other way or the same way<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn any case, if it went against the Brexiteers, they\u2019d demand a third referendum, if it went against the Remainers, they\u2019d blame the Russians,<\/em>\u201d Galloway noted.<\/p>\n The most likely outcome for the nearest future in Britain is \u201cTheresa May being overthrown by her own party and a new prime minister returning to square one,\u201d according to Galloway.<\/p>\n He pointed out that \u201cthere are plenty of people in the wings waiting. Boris Johnson even got his hair cut for the occasion, just to look prime ministerial. And he is Churchill\u2019s biographer.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Thom Brooks<\/strong>, a professor of law and government and the dean at Durham Law School, suggested that Theresa May is trying to buy herself more time.<\/p>\n \u201cIt makes you wonder\u2026 for what? There won\u2019t be a different deal, any changes to the deal. The reassurances around the backstops \u2013 promises from Brussels they really won\u2019t keep Britain perpetually in a customs union\u2026 It is very difficult to see how these promises will change any mind at all in parliament,<\/em>\u201d Brooks explained.<\/p>\n Given the European Court of Justice ruling that there is an option for Britain to remain in without a need of getting any approval from the EU, Brooks said that the strategy of \u2018my deal or no deal\u2019 seems to be not the only option now.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is really throwing into disarray those who are worried about the \u2018no deal\u2019 option \u2013 that is not the only option. And that changes the game<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIf this minority government can\u2019t get its way on fundamental bills like this Brexit vote, if it can\u2019t function, it can\u2019t be a government. And \u2018no confidence\u2019 seems to be the only option<\/em>,\u201d Brooks concluded.<\/p>\n Theresa May is aiming for more concessions from EU on the Irish border issue to help push her deal through.<\/p>\n RT spoke to M\u00e1irt\u00edn \u00d3 Muilleoir<\/strong>, a member of Irish party Sinn F\u00e9in, who claimed that no one on either side of the Ireland\u2019s border wants Brexit.<\/p>\n \u201cI think we do not want to see any border, certainly not in the Northern Ireland, not in the Irish Sea either. The majority here in Northern Ireland voted to remain. It is an absolute democratic disgrace to force us to exit the European Union,<\/em>\u201d \u00d3 Muilleoir said.<\/p>\n He explained that \u201cif we exit on the terms of the Brexiteers, or the DUP\u2019s\u2026 it will mean return to a hard border, it will mean the diminishing and the undermining of the Good Friday Agreement which of course underpins our peace process. It will mean that jobs will be lost, investment will be lost, we will jeopardize the progress that we have made in terms of our peace process and in terms of reconciliation over 20 years<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFor all those reasons we are against borders,<\/em>\u201d \u00d3 Muilleoir told RT adding that \u201cwe don\u2019t believe that the backstop, the special status for Northern Ireland which is contained in the agreement, we don\u2019t believe that will lead to the hard border in the Irish Sea. The constitutional issue for Northern Ireland will be decided on another day<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Think your friends would be interested? Share this story!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Via RT<\/a>.
