Britain-Brexit-Revolt: MPs seize control of Brexit process by backing indicative votes amendment - by Heather Stewart and Jessica Elgot
 |
| A second referendum - the best way to go |
An amendment tabled by former Tory minister Oliver Letwin passed, by
329 votes to 302, defeating the government, as MPs expressed their
exasperation at its failure to set out a fresh approach.
Government sources confirmed that three ministers resigned from government in order to back the Letwin amendment: foreign affairs minister Alistair Burt, health minister Steve Brine and business minister Richard Harrington.In all, a total of 30 Tory MPs rebelled to vote for it.
After gathering Brexit-backing grandees at her country retreat of
Chequers over the weekend and consulting DUP leader, Arlene Foster, and
the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, on Monday, May concluded she could not
yet win sufficient backing for her twice defeated deal.The cross-party group – led by Letwin and Labour’s Hilary Benn – gave MPs a series of votes on the alternatives to May’s deal, such as a second referendum, softer Brexit or revoking article 50.

EU - British relations: petition to revoke article 50 passes more than 1 million signatures
The
British population emotionally, but not properly informed about the
consequences, voted for Brexit with a razor thin majority three years
ago. It is time for the British Political establisment to swallow their
pride and say they made a mistake, revoke article 50, and return to the
safety and economic prosperity of the EU. It would certainly be a
showing of great statesmanship.

Britain - the Brexit Saga: E.U.Officials Agree to Brexit Delay, but with Conditions - by Stephen Castle
Top officials of the European Union tossed Prime Minister Theresa May a
lifeline on Wednesday, saying they would allow Britain to push back its
departure date from the bloc, but only if Parliament endorsed her
withdrawal plan.
Lawmakers have twice already rejected Mrs. May’s plan emphatically, but in the unlikely event they changed their minds, Britain would still need an extension. The March 29 deadline is so near, there is no way lawmakers can pass the supporting legislation needed to put any withdrawal plan into effect.
In offering an extension but tying it to a vote in Parliament, the European Union officials appeared to be trying to strengthen Mrs. May’s position and pressure British lawmakers to fall into line behind her plan, which would allow Britain to exit the bloc but maintain its trade ties until at least the end of 2020.
If they don’t, the alternative may be an outcome many of the lawmakers like even less than the prime minister’s plan: a break from the bloc with no provisions for cushioning its economic impact — a so-called no-deal Brexit — or an even lengthier delay. And that could potentially mean no withdrawal from the bloc at all.
Given the chaos and dysfunction of British politics, it was not at all clear Wednesday that the gambit by the European Union officials would pay off. The showdown between Britain and the European Union, it seems, may be destined go right down to the wire
The president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, did offer a bit of encouragement in an otherwise bleak landscape.
