British PM May blasts Parliament for Brexit mess as deadline looms
the notion of leaving without a deal on March 29, but unless Britain and the E.U. agree on some alternative solution, that is what will happen.
Wednesday's salvos from May in London and Tusk in Brussels may thus be more of an effort to present a clear choice and convince enough Parliament members to back May's deal in a third and perhaps final vote next week.In his remarks to journalists before chairing a crunch summit meeting of E.U. leaders on Thursday and Friday, Tusk left open, but unsaid, the possibility that Europe may contemplate a longer extension if May's deal is rejected again.
That's what politicians from the opposition Labour Party and pro-E.U. members of May's own Conservative Party had been hoping for. But a long extension would infuriate influential Brexit supporters in May’s divided party and would require Britain to participate in May elections for the European Parliament.
