Having acknowledged that the EU UK Withdrawal Agreement had no chances to pass through parliament Th. May postponed the «meaningful vote» until the last minute (January 14-21, 2019). The vote of confidence won by the Tory leader did not boost her authority. Even members of her own government are considering various plans for future moves on Brexit. Meanwhile opinion polls show even ratings of the two main parties and no majority on ways forward concerning relations with the EU. Is there a chance for a new referendum as a breakthrough from the political deadlock?
