UK be given Brexit deadline extension should it request one
The European Parliament formally called for Britain to be granted another extension to allow more time for London to agree the terms of its withdrawal should it request one.
The resolution, which is non-binding but carries political weight, passed with 544 in favour, 126 against and 38 abstentions.
This was on the condition the prolongation is justified and has a specific purpose, such as avoiding a “no-deal” departure, holding general elections or a referendum, revoking Article 50, or approving the Withdrawal Agreement.
They add that an extension should not affect the work and functioning of the European Union institutions.
