Prime Minister Theresa May could call in the queen to get things unstuck, but prefers not to.
By Michael Birnbaum Michael Birnbaum Brussels bureau chief covering Europe Email Bio Follow March 19 at 1:19 PM BRUSSELS — British Prime Minister Theresa May’s efforts to steer her nation out of the European Union remained in a state of chaos Tuesday, as she struggled to get around a shock parliamentary ruling that may force her to beg fellow European leaders for a long divorce delay.
On Monday, Bercow invoked a parliamentary convention dating to 1604 that he said banned putting a measure to a vote in Parliament if it has already been rejected in the same session of the legislature. May had hoped Brexiteer lawmakers would be sufficiently spooked by the prospect of getting stuck in the E.U. to pass her plan on the third try.
French leaders appeared to be in a tougher mood, embracing a good-cop, bad-cop routine that has developed in concert with Germany on Brexit issues in recent months. Asked about her cat on Tuesday, she said: “I think I need to have a certain sense of humor to deal with Brexit.”
