Even if May receives a majority for their exit contract, is now the time for an orderly Brexit, said the MP Dominic Grieve told the Guardian. From the point of view of the Labour members Chuka Umunna, a deadline extension would be an important step to a second Referendum: “The EU is unequivocal – she wants to be a renewal in favour of a referendum, but not for renegotiations”. A second Referendum would therefore be the way in order to prevent a disorderly Leaving without a Deal, said Umunna told the Guardian.

One way or the Brexit-2019 begins with far more ambiguity as to go about how it goes. The British Parliament no later than November 21. January on the withdrawal of the Treaty to the vote. If may can convince a majority of parliamentarians of your contract, begins on the 29. March is a transitional phase until the end of 2020. As long as the UK would be bound by EU law, would have no say in this anymore. Could the dealers until then, an agreement on the future relations, would be the feared Chaos at the exit.
