EU Commission president nominee says open to further Brexit extension

BRUSSELS - The choice of EU leaders for European Commission president said on Monday she would support giving Britain more time to negotiate its exit from the bloc as part of a series of promises to persuade a lukewarm EU parliament to back her in the post.

Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen said she wanted to build a strategic partnership with Britain, whose politicians are still arguing about when, how or even if the divorce will take place more than three years after its citizens voted 52% to 48% to leave. “Should more time be required ...I will support a further extension if good reasons are provided,” von der Leyen said in letters to the European Parliament’s socialists and liberals seen by Reuters. The documents also referred to “the ambitious and strategic partnership we want to build with the United Kingdom.”

In April, Macron blocked a one-year extension to Britain’s divorce talks with the EU. He argued that EU leaders should not try to keep Britain in and so undo the result of its 2016 referendum.

EU has been very gracious in supporting the UK in sorting out Brexit. It comes down to the Boris' promise not to ask for another one and France's lack of support for a future extension.

At this point shouldn't the EU just give England the Schrödinger's Country status?

Too late. They've put the blindfolds on, a brick on the accelerator they're barrelling towards Project Let's Drive Britain off a Cliff to See What Happens Why Because Immigrants. Brexit

Yes, but she's not the one who decides.
