U.K. and E.U. Leaders Cinch Brexit Divorce Terms
The settlement reached at a summit meeting on Sunday must pass testing parliamentary votes, and leaves deep uncertainties about Britain’s future.I may be surprised.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/22/world/europe/uk-eu-theresa-may-brexit.html
"Though the draft political declaration was intended to reassure some opponents, its critics immediately dismissed it. Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the opposition Labour Party, called it “half-baked,” a “vague menu of options” and “26 pages of waffle.” Nicola Sturgeon, the leader of the Scottish National Party, wrote on Twitter that it was so vague that it “adds up to a blindfold Brexit.”"
"Mark Francois, a senior pro-Brexit Conservative lawmaker, told the BBC that the document was best described as a “fig leaf” and “26 pages of political camouflage.”"
No deal seems most probable.
