就在英國首相梅伊(Theresa May)宣布內閣同意協議脫歐草案後,英國北愛爾蘭大臣瓦拉(Shailesh Vara)與脫歐大臣拉布(Dominic Raab)15日先後宣布請辭,無疑是重創進入最後階段的脫歐談判。
瓦拉是英國達成協議草案後首位請辭的閣員,並聲稱脫歐協議會讓英國無限期停留在中途之家(halfway house),無法支持這份已經與歐盟所達成共識的脫歐草案,「我們可以且必須做得更好,英國人民值得擁有更好的。」
隨後,拉布也在推特宣布請辭的消息,在職僅4個多月。他提到,他無法昧著良心支持這份脫歐協議。
Today, I have resigned as Brexit Secretary. I cannot in good conscience support the terms proposed for our deal with the EU. Here is my letter to the PM explaining my reasons, and my enduring respect for her. pic.twitter.com/tf5CUZnnUz
