Today
the British Parliament discussed and voted a few motions on Brexit.
Beyond
the words, the show and the votes, for me the point is clear: the deal that is
on the table, the one painstakingly negotiated between Theresa May and the EU,
is the best option at this stage. Today’s Westminster session seems to reveal
that a good number of MPs have also realised that. They said clearly, they do
not want to vote without a deal. And they expect the EU leaders to put some
sugar on top of the current proposal. Just to make it a bit more palatable. If
the EU does it, if some language is changed in the Political Declaration – not
in the deal, I do not see it as possible – the MPs will twist that coat of
sugar in such a way that it will save their face, as they finally approve the
deal.
Very
shrewd political actors they are.
