British Minister Theresa May said today that the proposed agreement on leaving the European Union brings her government closer to fulfilling what the British people asked for in the Brexit referendum. May told MPs yes the agreement reached yesterday by London and Brussels negotiators after months of tussle, it means the UK will "take back control" of its laws and borders "while protecting jobs, security and the integrity" of the country. The British government is holding a special session today where ministers will consider whether to support the deal. Supporters of Brexit are already criticizing the proposal, stating that the agreement will keep Great Britain tied to the EU even after exit and will not be able to lead an independent trade policy. May said that the cabinet will decide what to do in the "national interest", AP reported. May's supporters claim that the deal is the best offer and that the alternative is a chaotic Brexit "without a deal" that will disrupt everyday life and the economy, and possibly lead to a snap election after which Labor could come to power. If the government approves the proposal, the deal will go to the EU summit for approval in a few weeks. After that, May must win the support of parliament, which is no easy task as both Brexiteers and EU supporters threaten to vote against the proposed deal.
