Agreement on exit of Britain from the EU: prospects for ratification

Abstract

Negotiations on the terms of the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union lasted more than a year and a half. Both sides made concessions to achieve the desired result. As expected, the European Union was able to meet almost all of its requirements, and Britain had to retreat from part of its original requirements. However, the agreed text has caused discontent in the British political community. As a result, the prospects for its ratification in the House of Commons remain very vague. Refusal to ratify threatens political chaos for the UK and a possible exit «without a deal» which objectively does not meet the interests of the parties
