Brexit Could Be Delayed. MPs Have Just Voted To Ask Brussels For More Time To Sort Out The UK's Political Mess
The UK will ask the European Union to delay Brexit after Parliament voted by a majority of 210 to seek an extension to the withdrawal process.
Nonetheless, the knife-edge vote, which broke 314 to 312, will serve as a warning to Brexiteer rebels that if they vote down the deal at the third meaningful vote next week, parliament will again attempt to force the government's hand on the UK's Brexit policy. The length of the delay is uncertain. The government is set to request a short “technical” extension to June 30 if May’s withdrawal agreement is approved by MPs before March 29, having already been rejected twice by crushing margins.Any extension has to be unanimously agreed by the other 27 EU member states and there is no guarantee that they will agree, regardless of the Commons’ vote on Thursday.
Labour MPs abstained en masse after the party decided that there was no chance of securing another referendum at this time.
