Brexit: Gove warns of referendum if MPs don't back PM's deal

2 December 2018

If MPs don't back Theresa May's Brexit deal there could be another EU referendum, Michael Gove has said.

The leading cabinet Brexiteer said Mrs May's deal was not perfect - but if MPs did not vote it through on 11 December there was a risk of "no Brexit at all".

He told the BBC's Andrew Marr show there may now be a Commons majority for another referendum.

Labour has said it will attempt to topple Mrs May and force a general election if MPs reject her deal.

If that fails, they will then seek support in the Commons for another referendum.

1. Why is "no Brexit" a risk? Seems to me it would be more of a reward.

2. Would the other EU countries be ready to welcome Britain back into the fold?

I have been wondering that and haven't really heard much on that perspective.

I would think many of the EU ministers would be pissed off at the time and effort they have put into getting ready for Britain to leave only for them to turn around.

Plus Britain has also broken that unbreakable deal that leaving the EU was something that wasn't doable for anyone.

Just thinking out loud - I have no idea.

3. Nor do I have any idea, but taking them back would be better all around than...

letting them go.

Perhaps demanding they accept the Euro would be appropriate punishment for the trouble they caused.
