The political crisis in the United Kingdom is too deep, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov told reporters.
“The political crisis is too deep in the United Kingdom as the British lawmakers have extremely divergent views on the future relations with the EU and on their country’s role in the world,” said Chizhov
“It is not accidental that in recent months there has been a flow of resignations in the cabinet, of those members who were either dissatisfied with concessions to Brussels or of those who viewed Brexit as a big mistake,” he added.
According to the diplomat, “the outcome of the vote, unprecedented in the history of British parliamentarism, has made a strong impression.” “I believe we were watching a rare and even unnatural phenomenon when stances of two and more camps opposing the governmental line — both from opposition parties and the ruling Tories — coincided,” the Russian diplomat said.
