The House of Commons voted to instruct Theresa May to delay the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union.
Theresa May and the Conservative frontbench await the result of vote on her Brexit deal, March 12, 2019.The UK is scheduled to leave in just two weeks, but the decision by parliament means May will now request an Article 50 extension of at least three months.
If accepted by all the 27 other EU member states, it means that the United Kingdom will not leave the EU on March 29 as originally scheduled. The amendment — tabled by senior backbench MPs including Labour's Hilary Benn and Yvette Cooper — would have paved the way for"indicative votes" on a series of alternatives to May's deal, including a softer Brexit.
