A leaked European Commission memo seen by BuzzFeed News also cast doubts on May's plan for an Article 50 extension until June 30.
May’s implicit warning that she would rather resign as prime minister than countenance a Brexit delay beyond that date was treated with scepticism by Conservative MPs, who said she was attempting to blackmail them into voting for her deal.But speaking to journalists after prime minister’s questions, her official spokesperson refused four times to say whether she would quit if the UK was faced with a long delay beyond June.
May could then tell Brexiteers and Labour MPs in Leave-voting areas that they faced a stark choice between her deal and a lengthy delay to Brexit, during which the referendum result could be reversed. “Any other option would entail serious legal and political risks for the European Union and would import some of the current uncertainties in the United Kingdom into the EU27. Any other scenario would also have direct legal and practical consequences for the election of Members to the European Parliament in 14 of our Member States,” the memo said.
