英国时间15日晚七点半,英国议会以432张反对票对202张支持票的史无前例的压倒性优势,否决了特蕾莎·梅政府此前与欧盟达成了的脱欧协议。反对票与支持票差额高达230张,让本次表决成为英国执政党在议会投票表决中遭遇的“史上最惨重失败”。据英国政府智库数据显示,该差额大幅高出1924年的166张的历史纪录。在脱欧协议遭到否决后,英国首相特蕾莎·梅发表了讲话。今天,跟着M君一起,来学习一下梅姨的讲话以及英国议会发布的“脱欧”术语表吧!
Day Day Up
Prime Minister Theresa May's Statement to the House of Commons Following the Meaningful Vote
15 January 2019
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, the House has spoken and the Government will listen.
It is clear that the House does not support this deal. But tonight's vote tells us nothing about what it does support. Nothing about how…nothing about how – or even if – it intends to honour the decision the British people took in a referendum Parliament decided to hold.
And people, particularly EU citizens who have made their home here and UK citizens living in the EU, deserve clarity on these questions as soon as possible.
Those whose jobs rely on our trade with the EU need that clarity. So, with your permission, Mr. Speaker, I would like to set out briefly how the Government intends to proceed.
First, we need to confirm whether this Government still enjoys the confidence of the House. I believe that it does, but given the scale and importance of tonight's vote, it is right that others have the chance to test that question if they wish to do so. I can therefore confirm that if the Official Opposition table a confidence motion this evening in the form required by the Fixed Term Parliaments Act, the Government will make time to debate that motion tomorrow. And if, as happened before Christmas, the Official Opposition decline to do so, we will – on this occasion – consider making time tomorrow to debate any motion in the form required from the other opposition parties, should they put one forward.
Second…second, if the House confirms its confidence in this Government, I will then hold meetings with my colleagues, our Confidence & Supply partner the DUP and senior Parliamentarians from across the House to identify what would be required to secure the backing of the House. The Government will approach these meetings in a constructive spirit, but given…but given the need…urgent need to make progress, we must focus on ideas that are genuinely negotiable and have sufficient support in this House.
Third, if these meetings yield such ideas, the Government will then explore them with the European Union.
Mr. Speaker I want to end by offering two reassurances.
The first is to those who fear that the Government's strategy is to run down the clock to the 29th of March. That is not our strategy. I have always believed that the best way forward is to leave in an orderly way with a good deal and have devoted much of the last two years negotiating such a deal. As you confirmed, Mr. Speaker, the amendment to the business motion tabled last week by my Right Honourable and Learned Friend the Member for Beaconsfield is not legally binding, but the Government respects the will of the House. We will therefore make a statement about the way forward and table an amendable motion by Monday.
The second reassurance is to the British people, who voted to leave the European Union in the referendum two and a half years ago. I became Prime Minister immediately after that referendum. I believe it's my duty to deliver on their instruction and I intend to do so.
Every day that passes without this issue being resolved means more uncertainty, more bitterness and more rancour. The Government has heard what the House has said tonight, but I ask Members on all sides of the House to listen to the British people, who want this issue settled, and to work with the Government to do just that.
