This Brexit delay sends the UK a clear message: It really is decision time | Analysis by lukemcgee
Brussels Europe has done it again. Despite French President's Emmanuel Macron's reluctance to give the UK a long Brexit extension, the EU leaders have agreed the apparently interminable process can be delayed until October 31, with a school report on Britain's behavior in June.
And while everyone is focusing on that Halloween deadline, it's really the June date that's the more significant.Just three weeks ago, May told lawmakers in the House of Commons that she could not"as Prime Minister" delay Britain's departure from the European Union beyond June 30. After that, Britain would be obliged to send representatives to the European Parliament, where a new session begins on July 1.
UK lawmakers approve ban on no-deal Brexit by 1 vote 02:45And once you miss one deadline, missing a second becomes less of an issue. And if you miss a third, then is there any point of having deadlines at all?If nothing else, this latest extension gives the UK a bit of breathing space to regroup and work out if it can find a way forward -- while maintaining a sense of urgency. In that sense, it's rather clever.
