UK lawmakers to approve Brexit deal–Germany’s Merkel

Mubasher: German Chancellor Angela Merkel expected on Tuesday UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s withdrawal agreement with the European Union (EU) would win the approval of the House of Commons, according to Reuters.

“I give this treaty a very, very big chance of being agreed to in Britain too and that would be good for all of us,” Chancellor Merkel was quoted by the news agency as saying a business event.

Premier Johnson called for election on 12 December, after the parliament blocked his attempts to ratify its last-minute withdrawal accord he hammered out with Brussels in October.

Johnson’s chances of re-election on Monday were boosted after Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said he will not field any candidates against the Conservatives in the 317 seats they won at the last general election.

Farage’s climbdown raised the likelihood that Johnson will remain before finally fulfilling on the 2016 referendum result to pull the UK out of the EU.
