To beg their permission to exit the EU? And since when is Merkel an EU official? She speaks for the whole EU?
Looks like the Germans goal of dominating Europe since the 1930’s has come to pass. Who needs to use the military when you got a supplicant like Theresa May. Pretty sick.
No, to beg their permission to stay a bit longer.
haven’t you been reading? The UK said it was leaving on March 29, 2019. Then it couldn’t make up it’s mind and begged for an extension to June 30 — the EU leaders (all 27 of whom have to unanimous agree) said “no, you get until April 12 if you don’t agree the withdrawal or May 7 if you agree. Or you can leave now, with no deal”
But May begged for until April 12. Now it looks like she can’t deliver and she’s begging for more time again.
It’s about getting Macron to NOT veto the “let Britain and NI stay a bit longer”
This is all on the UK begging to stay a bit longer.
1. The EU parliament - analogous to US congress, these are directly elected members directly elected by the people - smaller states have smaller MEPS, while the UK has 73.
2. The EU council of nations - analogous to the US Senate. these are the heads of government like Merkel, May, Macron, Macierewicz etc. They have a veto option over decisions
