But, they would like to leave with no deal next week. I've always been clear that we could make a success of no deal in the long- term. But, leaving with a deal is the best solution. So, we would need further extension of article 50. One that is as short as possible and which ends when we pass a deal. And we need to be clear what such an extension is for, to ensure we leave in a timely and orderly way. Despite the best efforts of MPs, the process that the House of Commons has tried to lead [ INAUDIBLE ] has not come up with an answer. So today I am taking action to break the [ INAUDIBLE ] I am afraid to sit down with the leader of the opposition, and to try to agree a plan that we would both stick, to ensure that we leave the European Union, and that we do so with a deal. Any plan we'd have to agree the current withdrawal agreement. It is already being negotiated with the 27 other members and to the EU has repeatedly said, that it cannot and will not be reopened. What we need to focus on is our future relationship with the EU. The ideal outcome of this process Would be to agree and approach on a future relationship that delivers on a result of the referendum. That both the leader of the opposition and I could put to the house for approval. And which I could then take to next week's European Council. However, if we cannot agree on a single unified approach, then we would instead agree a number of options for the future relationship. That we could put to the house in a series of votes to determine which course to pursue. Crucially, the government stands ready to abide by the decision of the house. But to make this process work, the opposition would need to agree to this too. The government would then bring forward the Withdrawal Agreement bill We would want to agree a time table for this bill to ensure it is passed before the 22nd of May. So that the United Kingdom need not take part in European Parliamentary elections. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Theresa May Says Britain Will Seek Second Brexit Delay","description":"Prime Minister Theresa May said Tuesday that she will seek to further delay Britain’s exit from the European Union and seek to make an accord with the political opposition in a bid to break the Brexit impasse.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/jtMhlJDe/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2019-04-02T18:36:05.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/jtMhlJDe.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/jtMhlJDe/","duration":"PT2M10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/jtMhlJDe/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
