Conservatives Could Block No Brexit Deal Scenario

Lawmakers in Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative party believe they can stop Britain leaving the European Union without a deal if such a situation should arise, news media reported on Tuesday.

The economic impact of a “cliff-edge” Brexit, alongside the failure of the Conservatives to win a majority in the general election, should lead to a rethink of the position that “no deal is better than a bad deal”, Sky News reported, citing at least 30 Conservative lawmakers.

Sky quoted a former minister saying “no deal is now dead”, and anticipating a transition phase of five to 10 years inside the European Economic Area.
