Brexit
Pro-Inyon Ewopeyen lejislatè nan pati konsèvatif bretay la: 'Nou te kapab tonbe gouvènman an' # Brexit
A leading pro-European Union lawmaker in Britain’s ruling Conservative Party warned on Sunday (17 June) that a row over parliament’s influence on the Brexit process could collapse the government, but said he hoped to find a way to avoid that, ekri William James.
Prime Minister Theresa May’s minority Conservative government is fighting with rebels from her own party over the final wording of the laws that will end Britain’s EU membership - a bitter row which threatens to undermine her authority.
“We could collapse the government, and I can assure you I wake up at 2h in a cold sweat thinking about the problems we have put on our shoulders,” Dominic Grieve, the lawmaker negotiating with the government, told the BBC.
The minister leading those negotiations, Solicitor General Robert Buckland, said the government was standing by its own proposal, rejected by party rebels last week.
Grieve and a cohort of potential Conservative rebels with enough votes to defeat the government want parliament to have more influence over the next steps than ministers are prepared to give them.
Negotiations on a compromise, promised last week by May to avert a defeat, fell apart at the last minute on Thursday when rebels said the government had changed the wording of an agreement.
Davis and Prime Minister Theresa May have argued that they cannot accept anything which gives parliament the power to bind their hands in negotiations with the EU, or opens the door to lawmakers overturning the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum.
The rebels’ proposal came up against the government proposal in parliament’s unelected upper chamber on Monday (18 June), and will then be discussed again in the elected lower house on Wednesday (20 June).
For now, Buckland said ministers were happy to stick to their position and see where the debate on Monday took them.
“Our position is to support the amendment as tabled (proposed) by the government,” he said. “Of course we have today (19 June) to consider matters ahead of the Wednesday vote.”
“We’ve won every vote last week. I believe we can carry on in that successful vein.”
