What next as UK lawmakers split on fate of Brexit, and PM Theresa May?
A handout photograph released by the UK Parliament shows Britain's Minister for the Cabinet Office and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster David Lidington , Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May and Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond listening to questions in the House of Commons in London on March 25, 2019 on the next steps that parliament will take in the Brexit process.
If they defeat it, Britain has until April 12 to tell the EU what it plans to do next: leave without a deal, risking economic chaos, or seek a long delay to Brexit and chart a course toward a softer exit or even remaining in the bloc.With Brexit delayed and the new departure date up in the air, the House of Commons voted to give itself temporary control of the parliamentary timetable starting on Wednesday so lawmakers can vote on alternatives to May's withdrawal deal.
The move raises the chances that Britain will tack toward a softer Brexit, and is likely to be welcomed by the EU. May is hanging on, hoping she can persuade Brexit-backing lawmakers that rejecting her deal means Britain may never leave the EU. The European Commission said Monday it had completed planning for a no-deal Brexit, calling that outcome "increasingly likely."
