London : British Prime Minister Theresa May says she has started meeting leaders of opposition parties about Brexit and called for politicians to “put self-interest aside” and find a consensus on Britain’s path out of the European Union.
May spoke outside her 10 Downing St. residence after her government narrowly won a no-confidence vote in Parliament on Wednesday evening.
She has been meeting with leaders from rival political parties in a bid to break Britain’s political impasse over Brexit. On Tuesday, lawmakers resoundingly rejected the divorce deal May’s government struck with the EU; the prime minister has until the start of next week to come back to Parliament with a Plan B.
May said she was disappointed the leader of the main opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, had so far refused to meet her. She said her “door remains open.”
