Mr Hague said the outcome of the upcoming European elections will gather more support for Brexit. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, he explained how the elections will be the most influential of all. The elections have seen two new political parties, the Brexit Party and Change UK, join the contest.
Mr Hague explained the outcome of the European elections is “more likely to be a reassertion of support for Brexit than a defeat for it.”
He said in the Daily Telegraph: “That in turn will push more Conservative MPs into wanting a no deal Brexit whatever the consequences.
“Meanwhile, in the chancelleries of Europe, the message received from such results in the European elections will be that there is little prospect of pro-Remain forces co-ordinating successfully, and that October 31 should be treated as a hard deadline for withdrawal, with no further extension allowed.
“So a “hard Brexit" might well become more likely.”
