Politically and economically for many Member States especially island and 2nd. It looks like a general election is an effort to move sooner or later the year i think the only question is when it takes place and i think that might be another reason for that you to grant the u. K. An extension because after an election. Brings with it the possibility of political change and even if the conservatives are leading of the poets in the points at the moment the state of the possibility that. Its a genuine election which change the composition of parliament and therefore make an autonomy withdrawing more likely and i think for those 2 reasons the e. U. I think would be quite im likely to refuse an extension. What interesting the tactics played by both keep parties in the u. K. Now the labor seem to be now willing 1st of all to aim for the top priority which is to freeze any attempt by johnson to go for a deal for a break that with or without a deal then they are willing to negotiate another agreement about the election why is the labor walking down that particular path. I think because they fear. If you have an even of october 31st bricks election but Boris Johnson would be able to build unstoppable momentum because he could pose as mr bracks it the man who brought everyone were exit at the helm of the vote leave referendum bus and he could appeal as alex has brought up to tory voters to relievers especially that party voters and also try and keep tory remain as who are less keen on bricks are on board by saying if you dont vote for me you have that crypto marxist Jeremy Corbin walking into downing street who by the way lets remember is so unpopular in parliament. The rival parties could not agree on him as an alternative Prime Minister he is so unpopular among the general public a recent poll found that actually more people prefer the liberal democrat leader joe swenson as an alternative Prime Minister to Jeremy Corbin and incidentally the actual Prime MinisterAbbas Johnson is leagues ahead of both of them at 45 percent compared to about 20 percent and so given this you know the jobs would have a very compelling campaign to fight if he was doing on the eve of brechts it in the meantime of course if labor managed to delay bracks it string it out perhaps get this law passed and then sit there making sure that no elections approved yet they could run down the clock wait till middle of october see Boris Johnson shout and scream as he tries to do everything he can maybe even resign and then maybe not to avoid having to ask so they back set and that point his singular a man october 31st would shatter uphill struggle as an Election Campaign to fight at that point a late all but labor exit the vanguard election so be very much labors to win at that point alex but dont you see that mr johnson by his move is further undermining the conservative party look at the statements made yesterday the reactions from Philip Herman cain clarke the rebels you get the impression that the conservative party is about to crumble. No i dont have that sense actually of course the people you are naming are no longer conservative m. P. s theyre still in the house but they dont take the what we call the whip they dont take the discipline of the conservative party anymore and they all therefore unable to stand as members of parliament for the conservative party again they will be able to stand of course for any other party or indeed as independents but just not for the party that got them elected last time this strengthens Boris Johnsons hand in any potential election because in their seats which are overwhelmingly very safe conservative seats there will be new conservative candidates chosen and those candidates will be far more likely to support Boris Johnson than those whove already demonstrated that they absolutely wont that is to say they didnt just vote against their tory policy they voted for a government to be denied the leaves of power for the control of the house of commons to be passed in state to the opposition on the explicit basis that they would then give that power to the European Union either for an extension or if we can agree an extension take whatever extension the e. U. Gives us this is the worst possible signal for parliament to send to the e. U. Why would the e. U. Negotiate with us at in any meaningful way if they know that were just going to have extension after extension and effectively stay in so no i think it strengthens boriss hand to have new m. P. s in those seats the reason why is the e. U. Saying that it will not bend on any of the demands made by the johnson of the over there was given to minister to some may still stands all the table that could be the best way out to an orderly exit from the e. U. Was the main point of contention is the back supply the i was fought on and the sort of concept i mean the problem for the us really is at the sort of concessions stop to accept the one that and they include peg limiting the backstop to automata fi allowing the u. K. To withdraw from it unilaterally the problem is start from the us that this giving in to those concessions would basically on the mind the basic functioning off the back so because and influence policy that this time limited is not an insurance policy from that use perspective and thats why it simply cannot give in to those demands what they you i think could do and is willing to do would be to consider. Tonnage has a range of months to the backstop if they are viable and if they fully fit the same objectives after the backstop and the problem is that it doesnt get it back and they are trying to define range ments has been found and can be found so that fundamentally its a problem and when we have set up a backstop issue its not just about. The border what having a vote on no bought on the island of ireland its really it really touches very very fundamental issues all of the youll like so that out of tea for example and because its really about the question without you Member States support a smaller member state if its 5 to interests are threatened against the comic interests of a soon to be thought country and if youre some of the phrases and those times then it becomes an entirely different issue and. Its i think become so much and even of a Member States a thing. Can done see a bit more easily why its so important as they stand behind ireland because they might need you so modality at some point in the future too and they wouldnt want the Member States to abandon them so. I think thats really why that yukon i see your point given to accept yes demand on the backstop say was quite interesting when Boris Johnson was basically saying that he would use his negotiating skill to be able to change the u. S. Position when it comes to the Northern Ireland border do you think that the backstop ill turn it into something still possible against the backdrop of the drama that is unfolding in the u. K. Oh its still possible but obviously the e. U. Has to genuinely believe it is deliverable in westminster the changes that the Boris Johnson would seek because really whats governing all this is the parliamentary refer to can the house of commons in that just go about 3 and may for a 2nd when she tried to get a deal done to change the backstop and everything around it about 3 times now she was had to deal rejected and so e. U. Leaders tried every time to change it just enough rejected again and now we see that clearly Boris Johnson is struggling to get anything through parliament and then peas are running rampant able to tie his hands on no deal and so its no wonder your leaders arent really taking the goetia seriously because then i think nothing would pass this parliament especially when some euro skeptics say in the same breath that even if the backstop was taken out they would still want more. Seem to to be saying basically that you dont think that this is something which is going to further undermine but its just on the culture this is something which is going to consolidate his power base there is the god of the if he decides to go or if we have an election he will definitely have to be very aggressive to be able to bite into the boa base of the briggs it party but by doing that dont you think that he could just further undermine the remaining within the conservative party itself. There is a balance to be struck youre right but i think boris has already enough to draw away much of the strength of the bricks at parties electoral appeal at least in the present time before the 31st of october hes demonstrated hes serious about brets it and doesnt want to take no deal off the table i really see british politics is like this the divide on the broadly speaking right between the tory party in the brics it party is a smaller one that is to say the tory party has done well to take much more of that vote in the current environment than the divide on the left between the labor party in the liberal democrats where whatever you think of the lib dems have a Crystal Clear position on bricks if they dont want it and the labor party has been to and fro on what they think about this and where they are in our membership of the European Union in that circumstance i think that boris does very well at an election with a more broadly unified right and a more generally divided left and thats why he feels so positive about the prospect of an election what. Kind of impact is this Political Drama in the u. K. Having on the e. U. Leadership because sometimes you get the impression hes trying to stay away and comment only when hes suddenly about one of the key contentious issues between the u. K. And the e. U. Yeah i mean that you have to way to try to stay out of the oil u. K. Domestic Political Drama basically since even since before the west. It didnt get too involved in the Referendum Campaign and even in the past 3 years it has really tried to stay our im not sure that the current Political Drama really have to bake off an effect on that you would need us because basically i think what you need as the main question is can there be an orderly withdrawal off the u. K. And if so when can it and all this drama at the moment were not really getting closer to a visit lucian off the fundamental question or on facts that is there going to be again no idea or its going to take a 50 go in to be revoked and that is the fundamental decision that needs to be made and at the moment all this Political Drama i think is just so its basically just kicking the can from around the world. I think one of the things that many people would say agree about when it comes to the u. K. Of this particular moment is absolutely no clarity about the future just give you an example the lived for example of for anything that would stop the brigs that this interview would say that this is going to further give scotland. The right to go for independence the labor we know the dithering when it comes to how to move forward the conservatives seem to be divided than ever is britain suddenly or is it because of the 2016 choice intrigue an unprecedented political stage. Well look the reason why it seems that our Political Class of being so inept about this is because the government doesnt have the numbers to get anything through this parliament and the same time you have an opposition in the labor party who seem to be increasingly pandering to remain as never really accepted the deal and some labor m. P. s for example a good few dozen who rejected the original deal several times and are now turning around having found that they will turn to the await them are even with us sort of breaks it over no deal bricks it or just trying again maybe selling out their voters so who actually voted leave me mother liberal democrats then you know that at least they have some sincerity of just hating bricks it never liking it in the same way the s. N. P. Do as well and so they just they they cant really seem to decide whatever they want at all even with a general election you have Jeremy Corbyn in one breath saying our Prime Minister is a dictator and that his have followers feel that a coup has taken place thanks Doris Johnson but no they they dont want to go back to the people just yet because that would be just improper the other things have to happen so its no wonder then bar johnson is so desperately keen for a new parliament thank you thank you very much indeed it will be really interesting to see how one whether mr jones will be able to deliver on his promise to cross out of the year with or without a deal alex dean Larissa Brown or acer bennett thank you very much indeed for your contribution to the program and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our web site c.
