Brussels Oct 4 (IANS) The European Commission on Thursday quoted ABBA lyrics to refer to the UK leaving the EU after the country s Prime Minister danced to one of the Swedish pop group s famous numbers during the annual Conservative Party conference.
Commission spokesperson Margaritis Schinas made reference to Theresa May s dance moves to "Dancing Queen" at a press conference after being asked a series of questions by a British journalist: "Voulez-vous a deal? Will you take a chance on May or is she about to face her Waterloo? And will the winner take it all?"
