10:32 pm
in brussels she's now going on a two week p.r. offensive as it were to try and convince the rest of the country of this of this deal also that is in the ahead of the actual parliamentary vote which she says will take place just before christmas but of course she has that fight on her hands it's thought that perhaps the bulk of the three hundred fifteen or so members of her party will vote to get this through but she has other members within her party who will not vote for her as it all in those ranging from the arch remain as the anti bracks it is and the pro bracks it is but on the more extreme end who who are quite happy to crash out as it were also the opposition labor party leader jeremy called in came out on sunday and said that he would not be voting that and his party would not be voting for this as well calling the deal a miserable failure of negotiation and also another important point to resume is
10:33 pm
partners in the government the northern irish party they have said that the leader has said that she would not be back in this all because of this so-called backstop arrangement which the party is really against so then let's fast forward so on the tourism it doesn't get the votes then what one of the scenarios i've had one of our viewers on facebook live messaging me saying we want a second referendum is the have a possible scenario. it seems that all options are possible right now as no one really has a clear vision of exactly what could happen but there have been dial warnings about the chaos that the country could be plunged into and this is something that almost both sides are banking on because if there is chaos which then again of course would be reflected in the markets and the devaluing of the pound as instability such as that would do it could actually provoke to reason may to whip up support in her party to get this deal passed through alternatively it could also shore up
10:34 pm
support for a people's vote if the divisions are still really reconcilable within that part as well but it will be looking very tricky and certainly quite rocky in the british markets here as well but also could another deal be struck with the european union the european union has already drawn its red lines around it there could be some cosmetic tinkering around around this as well to try and get shore up support for mrs may but it looks unlikely that there will be any of the kind of changes that the brics cities are pushing for so all in all we can see is really if another referendum is on the table well don't write anything off yet come up ok so now you go to go in london thank you more now actually joining us on skype from london matthew goodman he is a professor of politics and international relations at the university of kent also a senior fellow in the european program at chatham house matthew let me read you a comment that has sent us on facebook live and said for many it's probably
10:35 pm
a relief just to end the bitter crossfire uncertainty and move on that sounds great doesn't it but from everything our correspondents just said it seems we're very far away from there being any calm here. well i think the conservative party is going to be divided did for many many years to come prime minister may will certainly be hoping that she gets that transition into peace time if you like it certainly feels like the conservative party is currently in on a war footing but i think longer term the dilemma for the conservative party are incredibly real and nobody really has a solution to the prime minister made about to deliver a bricks a deal that will not satisfy a large number of her back benches we now have an estimate that over ninety m.p.'s are going to vote this deal down that it's almost certainly prime minister may did
10:36 pm
not happen numbers that she needs and i would add to that that we know that the conservative grassroots associations of the conservative membership is incredibly are happy with the deal they view it as a salad out as too soft as a betrayal of rights it so longer term i think the prospects for the conservative party look incredibly bleak. they may flip it around from a few would matter and that's look at it from the european perspective how do you think they're viewing all of this because i'm always reminded of the fact that your didn't want britain to go they never said it was a british decision to do it a very contentious one down but how do you think the europeans are dealing with all of this now. well i think the e.u. today will be feeling quite happy with itself it will feel that it's got prime minister mate to commit to a deal that minimizes the disruptive effects of breck's it but also keeps the u.k. closely aligned with the e.u. and i think crucially the e.u.
10:37 pm
will feel that this deal is not good enough to inspire other euro skeptic movements or other e.u. member states from leaving in the future however i would add that the problem throughout the negotiation is that both the e.u. and the u.k. have completely and consistently misread one another the u. k. has assumed that the e.u. would compromise on the four indivisible freedoms that come with getting access to the single market and the e.u. has consistently said it wouldn't and the e.u. you on the other hand i think has consistently the rest of mated the level of volatility in british politics there's no guarantee even today that this deal will be signed off by the house of commons and so the e.u. i think may have pushed prime minister may we may come to say this in a year or two from that now but if push prime minister may listen too hard and possibly jeopardize the overall process quick final question for if you don't mind
10:38 pm
from omar again on facebook life he said can briggs a cause a more serious division in europe i guess he's referring to the idea of other countries thinking oh well maybe we'll leave. i think it's certainly possible i think it's going to be interesting to see where we are five years ten years from now once the u.k. is gone through that official process of leaving my concern i would add to the omar's comment there is actually the divisions that this is going to leap within the u k if we do end up with this with the second record end i think there are many people perhaps like myself in the u.k. who are incredibly well barry about the question of whether that will entrenched the divides that we had between leaders demeanors right it's not a pleasant place to be at the moment the u.k. in terms of this breck's it debate families are arguing with each other neighbors or arguing with each other and so i'm very apprehensive about where all of this not only leaves the european community but actually leaves the u.k.
10:39 pm
