UK Leadsom said May will survive confidence vote, then seek Brexit consensus

Andrea Leadsom, leader of the UK Conservative Party in the Commons, expressed her confidence that Prime Minister Theresa May will survive the confidence vote today.

She added that, “the prime minister will then not necessarily be looking for brand new ideas that no one has thought of before, but actually seeking a consensus, actually a fresh initiative to find a solution that is negotiable with the European Union and that would command a majority in the House of Commons,”

On what’s next, she emphasized “what we need to do is to find a way that (May’s) deal or some part of it or an alternative deal that is negotiable can then be put to the European Union so that we will get this Brexit through by March 29.”

Separately, United Kingdom Independence Party leader Nigel Farage predicted that in case of the second referendum, “leave” vote will even be bigger. He said “The British may be a very placid people, very laid back but I promise you: if they get pushed too far it’s a lion that will roar. We will be even more defiant if we have to fight a second referendum and we will win it by a bigger majority.”
