The largest British opposition party, the Labor Party, will vote in parliament against the Brexit agreement adopted today by the leaders of the European Union, Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn said.
After today's EU summit, Corbyn said that the agreement on separation, agreed to by British Prime Minister Theresa May, is bad for Great Britain and that it leaves the country "in the worst of all worlds", reports the Associated Press. He said Labour's aim was to defeat the Brexit deal in parliament and then "work with others to prevent a no-deal exit", which many believe would cause major damage to the British economy. Labor will fight, Corbyn added, for a "sensible deal" that would include a permanent customs union with the EU, a single market deal and guarantees for workers' rights, among other things. With opposition from Labour, May will find it much more difficult to secure a majority in the British Parliament for the adopted Brexit deal. After 17 months of negotiations between London and Brussels, the leaders of 27 EU countries adopted today the proposal for the "Agreement on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community". That agreement was adopted by the government of Great Britain on November 14, and now the British and European parliaments need to declare on it.
