On August 17, the GBP/USD currency pair continued its weakest upward correction and failed to work out the moving average line. In the meantime, a member of the ruling Conservative Party, Jacob Rees-Mogg gave an interview about Theresa May's prospect to implement her exit plan at the legislative level. According to Rees-Mogg, if the prime minister realizes the so-called "Chequers" plan, then they will vote against her in the House of Commons. The politician believes that Theresa May should remember the promises she made in the elections and how much they correspond to the "soft" scenario Brexit, which the British prime minister wants to realize. According to Rees-Mogg, the correspondences are small and he noted that it is better to leave the EU without a deal than according to the "Chequers" plan, which will leave the UK without the right to vote in the European Union. Based on opinions, the "hard" Brexit scenario without an agreement will also not satisfy many politicians and experts. This option implies a more serious financial pressure on the UK economy, which is the concern of BOE's head, Mark Carney. Given the fact that the number of votes in the referendum was distributed almost 50% to 50%, then there will be many who are unsatisfied. Also, the idea of holding a new referendum sounded more than once.
