Theresa May Warns Brexit Could Be 'Delayed Or Frustrated' As Draft Deal Faces Overwhelming Opposition | Zero Hedge
Zero Hedge • cached • 4 hours ago

And faced with the possibility of a "no-deal" Brexit, it's likely that MPs would vote for a second referendum to would raise the possibility of Brexit being scrapped altogether. This would add to the unanimous opposition from the DUP (the Northern Irish party propping up May's government) and almost guarantee that the deal would lose by a staggering margin, given that most Labour MPs would also be expected to vote against.
