May Gets Two Week Brexit Delay: Now What?

The transcript discusses the EU's decision to give Theresa May a two-week reprieve until April 12th to secure a Brexit deal. If she succeeds, the UK will leave the EU on May 22nd, avoiding EU elections. If she fails, the UK faces a no-deal exit or a longer extension, which would require EU elections. EU leaders are skeptical of May's chances, and political dynamics in the UK are tense, with Brexiteers and the DUP hesitant. The EU may be allowing time for May to fail, leading to new leadership or a different plan.
