’50-50′ chance Brexit won’t happen, says senior minister
|London (CNN)A senior UK government minister has warned there is a “50-50” chance Brexit won’t happen, if Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal is voted down in Parliament next month.
International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, a prominent Brexit supporter, told the Sunday Times that the only way to be “100% certain” Britain will leave the European Union is if ministers back the deal.
The UK is scheduled to exit the bloc on March 29 next year. But the road to departure has been a bumpy one — with the latest hurdle May’s beleaguered withdrawal agreement, negotiated with the EU last month.
