EU's Verhofstadt: Brexit extension questionable if UK vote on deal is cancelled
|In an interview with the Standard, European Parliament's Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt argued that the EU may not grant the extension to Article 50 if British Prime Minister Theresa May were to fail to get the majority of lawmakers to back her deal.
“Why should the EU27 even consider a Brexit extension this week, if the UK parliament vote on the deal is cancelled?” Verhofstadt questioned and added: “I will keep saying this; it is time for country to come before party. A minority of Right-wing populists cannot be allowed to drive European citizens and businesses off a cliff.”
