How long May ask the EU to Brexit-a postponement?

Shortly before the EU-summit wants to convince the British head of government Theresa May , the other member States with a letter from a Brexit-shift. May should request in the Letter to EU Council President Donald Tusk, an extension of the deadline, the spokesman said on Tuesday, after a Cabinet meeting in London.

"time is running out"

EU negotiator, Michel Barnier, called for the case of a long displacement of the Brexit "something New" from London. He spoke of "a new event, a new political process". For this case, it had been speculated in the past about elections, or a second Brexit Referendum.

"The time is running out," warned Minister of state for Europe Michael Roth (SPD) during a Meeting with his EU colleagues in Brussels. "There must be an end to the game." The British would have to finally "deliver". The mood among the EU States was "very bad".

The British house of Commons had rejected the EU negotiated exit contract last week for the second Time. May wanted to put him actually ahead of the EU summit on Thursday to vote again.
