"The voting in the British Parliament days ago shows that they disagreed with the deal, but they didn't said clearly what kind of deal they want. They didn't work out a plan acceptable by most sides. I think the parliament should work practically and let the voting decide something. Even if it's not the most satisfactory to all sides, it will remain an acceptable decision for all sides."

"Under the circumstance, nothing could be more terrible and horrible than uncertainty. Trade needs certainty, but what is the game rules? How would the rules change? so we are experiencing the worst thing in the world. The uncertainty is the most horrible for trade and enterprises."

The British government should make practical efforts to reach some consensus on Brexit acceptable to all sides, said a Spanish expert.
Juan Tugores, professor of economics, University of Barcelona, said the biggest problem in Brexit is that there is no internal consistency in the British Parliament.
The British government underwent a historic defeat after members of parliament (MPs) overwhelmingly rejected the deal Prime Minister Theresa May brokered for leaving the European Union (EU) by a massive margin of 432 votes to 202 on Jan 15.
Then May won in a no-confidence vote put forward by the main opposition Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn with 325 votes to 306 on Jan 16, which meant the government survived by just 19 votes.
In this dilemma, Tugores said, members of the British Parliament should illuminate what kind of deal they want, and work out a plan acceptable to all sides.

Tugores also pointed out that uncertainty is mounting in Britain on whether it can get through Brexit smoothly. Besides, the uncertainty has caused side effects on the economy, with some pro and con businessmen hesitating to make investment.
