Zuleeg, Fabian (2018) Pie in the sky and the death of 'cakeism': towards the brink in EU-UK negotiations. EPC Commentary, 3 May 2018. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
The negotiations between the United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU) have entered the next ‘hot’ phase. The EU is pushing for an agreement on the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) to be ready for sign-off at the June European Council to create certainty on transition and the process to follow. But domestic and EU pressures on Theresa May imply both a hard Brexit and the Irish border backstop. The only way she can get this through parliament is by taking the UK to the brink of no deal.
