Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said he fears that a wider majority for Theresa May’s Conservatives in the June 8 general election will give her “a blank check for Brexit at any cost.”
Voters should elect candidates of any party who will “keep an open mind” on the shape of the trade deal the U.K. reaches with the European Union, Blair, who won three U.K. elections for Labour from 1997 to 2005, said Sunday on BBC Radio 4’s “The World This Weekend” program. “This is bigger than party allegiance,” he said. “The line that Theresa May and the Tory party are pursuing is to say she’s got to have her hand strengthened for this negotiation,” Blair said.
