May: Government & opposition must compromise on Brexit

British Prime Minister Theresa May said that her Conservative government and opposition Labour party must compromise to win support in parliament for leaving the European Union with a deal.

The embattled leader opened negotiations last week with the Labour Party in a bid to end months of political crisis over her divorce deal struck with European leaders last year but repeatedly rejected by MPs.

In a video statement, released on Sunday, May said she wanted to leave the EU “in a good way that doesn’t disrupt people’s lives.”

With Britain’s departure now set for April 12, May’s government is running out of time to get a deal through a divided parliament, and must come up with a new plan to secure another delay from EU leaders at a summit on Wednesday.
