British Prime Minister Theresa May called off Tuesday’s parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal after a conference call with cabinet ministers, an indication that she believes she would have faced a crushing defeat.
Legendary anti-war activist and former British parliamentarian George Galloway joined Radio Sputnik’s Loud & Clear Monday to discuss the British political scene.
“It [the situation in Britain] might even get more chaotic,” Galloway told hosts John Kiriakou and Brian Becker.
“Although Theresa May has pulled the vote for fear of losing it by a substantial margin, the House of Commons has to actually agree to allow her to pull the vote. If there is a vote tomorrow, she will be overwhelmingly defeated. It’s hard to believe that we are led by such dangerous incompetence,” Galloway added.
The House of Commons vote, which will determine whether the terms for the UK’s exit from the EU negotiated by May are approved or rejected, was originally scheduled to take place on December 11.
