Washington Post: “Parliament on Wednesday voted, twice, that Britain should not leave the European Union without a proper withdrawal agreement, signaling that lawmakers will also ask European leaders for permission to delay Brexit.”
“The no-deal votes were in many ways symbolic — taking the temperature of Parliament, rather than setting concrete policy. The wishes expressed by lawmakers do not tie the hands of the British government, nor do they commit the E.U. to any action.”
“Prime Minister Theresa May conceded there was a ‘clear majority’ against a no-deal Brexit, but she warned lawmakers that the ‘legal default’ was that Britain would still leave without a deal on March 29 unless another agreement is reached.”
