May’s Brexit plan


The UK Prime Minister, May, has dropped her plan of trying to get her Brexit plan passed next week; instead, May only seek the Parliament vote on approving Britain’s exit from the European Union. I think that this is a smart move for May to get her own deal passed by the Parliament. At the moment, May is almost impossible to gain sufficient support for her Brexit in the Parliament, which can be proven by the previous vote results. Therefore, if May wants to get her deal passed in the Parliament, she has to find another way to make her deal more appealing.
If May can get the parliamentary approval of Britain’s exit from the EU, it means that there is not much time for the UK to negotiate a new deal with the EU. Moreover, because of the disagreement within the UK, it takes much time for the UK itself to figure out a suitable deal for Brexit. So far, there is no deal which gets the majority’s support in the Parliament, then when there is no time for getting a deal, the Parliament has to choose the most favoured deal among the unpopular deals, if the majority of the MPs agree no-deal Brexit is worse than any deal Brexit. This will make May’s deal more likely to be accepted by the Parliament.
Although such strategy has risk that the UK Parliament fails to approve any deal and makes the UK exit the EU without a deal, I cannot see any other option that May is able to get her deal passed by the Parliament.
