Britain’s ‘Super Saturday’ as Brexit Vote Goes to the Wire

A Brexit breakthrough in Brussels, but now the battle moves on to London and a rocky road ahead in Parliament.Boris Johnson’s Conservatives don’t have a majority in the body, so the 10 votes of their allies Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party could be decisive.But the problem, they will vote against the withdrawal1 agreement negotiated by Johnson, fearing it undermines Northern Ireland’s bond with the United Kingdom.“Saturday is not the end, Saturday is not even the beginning of the end because there’s a whole range of issues that have to be sorted out in withdrawal agreement.”So, the Prime Minister will have to persuade some opposition2 MPs to break ranks, but opposition parties fear the new withdrawal agreement will give Prime Minister Johnson carte blanche to tear up regulations and workers’ rights. Only a few Labour Party MPs are expected to vote for the deal.

英国脱欧在布鲁塞尔取得重大突破,但是现在战场已经转移到伦敦,议会未来道路坎坷。鲍里斯·约翰逊的保守党在议会中没有多数席位,因此他们的盟友北爱尔兰民主统一党的10票可能是决定性的。但问题是,他们将投票反对约翰逊谈判的脱欧协议,担心这会破坏北爱尔兰与英国的关系。“周六不是结束,周六甚至都不是结束的开始,因为有一系列问题必须在脱欧协议中解决。”因此,首相将不得不说服一些反对党议员破格,但反对党担心,新的脱欧协议将赋予约翰逊首相全权摧毁监管和工人权利。预计只有少数工党议员会投票赞成这项协议。

If he loses, Boris Johnson must by law ask the EU for a Brexit extension, something he has repeatedly ruled out.Some EU leaders are also reluctant.“I don’t think that any new extension should be agreed to.”Even if the withdrawal agreement is passed, there are hurdles3 ahead.“We need an act of Parliament to make that law in the UK, we could see a lot of amendments4 to that act, maybe requiring something, for example, like another referendum.” That might not be wholly welcomed in Brussels.“The levels of polarization have increased so much over the past three years, that I think a narrow Remain victory wouldn’t solve those questions at all, so and what it means for the EU would be that the UK would become an incredibly difficult Member State.Politically, the governments would not be able to agree to any further EU integration5.”

如果他输了,鲍里斯·约翰逊必须依法要求欧盟延期,这是他一再想阻止的。但是一些欧盟领导也不情愿。“我认为不应该同意任何新的延期。”即使脱欧协议获得通过,前方仍障碍重重。“我们需要一个议会法案来在英国制定这项法律,我们可以看到对该法案的很多修正,可能需要一些东西,例如,另一次公投。”这在布鲁塞尔可能不会完全受欢迎。“在过去三年里,两极分化的程度越来越严重,我认为一场险胜根本解决不了这些问题,所以对欧盟来说,这意味着英国将成为一个极其难相处的成员国。在政治上,各国政府将无法同意进一步融入欧盟。”

In Brussels Friday, with Boris Johnson gone, talks moved on to the war in Syria and the session of north Macedonia into the EU.In Europe, for some, there is Brexit Fatigue6.After the referendum, Europe was happy to encourage to the idea that Britain might change its mind and be welcomed back.Now the mood appears to have changed. Brussels wants Britain to leave quietly before it causes any more trouble.

星期五在布鲁塞尔,鲍里斯·约翰逊离开后,会谈继续进行,讨论叙利亚战争和北马其顿加入欧盟的问题。在欧洲,对有些人来说有种英国脱欧疲惫感。公投结束后,欧洲高兴地支持英国可能改变主意并欢迎其回到欧盟。现在的情绪似乎已经改变了。布鲁塞尔希望英国在造成更多麻烦之前悄悄离开。
