The European Union is giving Britain until Halloween to sort out Brexit

EU leaders spent a long dinner meeting Wednesday wrangling over whether to save Britain from a precipitous and potentially calamitous Brexit, or to give the foot-dragging departing nation a shove over the edge. At a pre-dinner meeting in Brussels, May made the case for the delay. She believes that a June 30 deadline is enough time for Britain's Parliament to ratify a Brexit deal and pass the legislation needed for a smooth Brexit.
May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel were filmed laughing over a tablet bearing an image of the two speaking to their respective parliaments on Wednesday, wearing similar blue jackets. She added that she was hopeful it could be as soon as May 22 — a key date because that would avoid the need for Britain to participate in elections for the European Parliament.
