Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal is all but dead. Here's what could happen next as the U.K. faces an April 12 deadline to present the EU with a new plan, or crash out without an agreement. More AP coverage of Brexit:
A Brexit supporter holds an England flag at Parliament Square in Westminster, London, Friday, March 29, 2019. Pro-Brexit demonstrators were gathering in central London on the day that Britain was originally scheduled to leave the European Union. British lawmakers will vote Friday on what Prime Minister Theresa May's government described as the "last chance to vote for Brexit."
Without a delay, Britain will leave the bloc at 11 p.m. U.K. time on April 12 without a divorce agreement to smooth the way. Most politicians, economists and business groups think such a no-deal scenario would be disastrous, erecting customs checks, tariffs and other barriers between Britain and its biggest trading partner.
This week lawmakers held a series of “indicative votes” on alternatives to May’s deal. The exercise did not provide clarity — all eight options on offer were defeated. But it did hint at a potential compromise. The measure that came closest to a majority called for Britain to remain in a customs union with the EU after it leaves.
There’s a good chance a withdrawal agreement that included a customs union pledge would be approved by Parliament, and welcomed by the EU.Britain is not scheduled to hold a national election until 2022, but the gridlock in Parliament makes a snap vote more likely.
