LONDON: British leader Theresa May's government warned on Sunday it might not hold a planned Brexit vote this week unless it feels it can secure a win that avoids a lengthy delay to pulling out of the EU.
But May warned on Sunday that another defeat would almost certainly require a delay so long that Britain would have to take part in European Parliament elections in May. "We will only bring the deal back if we are confident that enough of our colleagues... are prepared to support it so that we can get it through parliament," finance minister Philip Hammond said on the BBC.- 'Work in progress' -A delay that long could give Britain time to decide to either keep much closer EU ties or even have Brexit reversed in a new national poll -- two options welcomed by a range of European officials.
And the opposition Labour party has followed an ambiguous policy while pushing for new elections that could topple May."We are not supporting Theresa May's deal at all because we think it is a blindfold Brexit that we think is going to do enormous damage to our economy," Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Sky News.
