None of the alternative options to Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plan has managed to receive the support of a majority of lawmakers, prolonging the political deadlock in the UK. | |
Motion C, Customs Union, which called for a commitment to negotiate a “permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union with the EU,” lost by 276 to 273 votes. | |
Motion D, Common Market 2.0, which asked for continued participation in the single market and a “comprehensive customs arrangement” with the EU after Brexit, lost by 282 to 261 votes. | |
Motion E, which asked for a public vote to confirm any Brexit deal passed by parliament before its ratification, also lost on Monday night by 292 to 280 votes. | |
Motion G, which urged revoking Article 50 in the face of a no-deal Brexit, lost by 292 to 191 votes. | |
After yet another attempt by the British PM failed to break the Brexit impasse, the UK now increasingly risks crashing out of the EU on April 12 without a deal. The UK lawmakers are set to hold another round of so-called “indicative votes” on Wednesday, before EU leaders hold an emergency summit on April 10 to consider London's request for an extension of Article 50. | |
