Never can say goodbye? UK parliament asks EU for Brexit delay

Description

British MPs have voted overwhelmingly to ask the EU to delay Brexit for at least 3 months. UK is due to leave the European Union in 15 days with no deal after Theresa May's withdrawal agreement was rejected by MPs twice. Today 412 voted in favour of the government requesting an extension from the EU, 202 voted against. The EU has warned there must be a credible reason for an extension. So, how should the rest of the 27 respond?

The commission, the EU's executive arm, says it decided a one-off extension after the automotive industry raised concerns about the massive costs that would arise from a post-Brexit 10-percent tariff. Maros Sefcovic, EU Commission Vice President, calls the proposal "balanced and forward-looking" which "supports the competitiveness of our industry and protect jobs in the European Union" SOUNDBITE
