BREAKING: With 17 days to Brexit deadline, PM May's withdrawal deal fails again in UK Parliament; casts further doubt on whether Britain's departure will occur as scheduled — or even at all.
— an idea likely to be rejected due to its potentially devastating economic impact — or to ask the E.U. to delay Brexit beyond the scheduled March 29 departure date.The main sticking point in the deal for many lawmakers is an insurance policy designed to keep open the border between Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K., and the Republic of Ireland, which will remain part of the E.U.
would work. Brexit supporters fear that the backstop could be used to bind the country to E.U. regulations indefinitely. On Monday, May made a last-minute visit to Strasbourg, France, for talks with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. She had hoped that what she called “legal changes” to the backstop would be enough to convince reluctant lawmakers to vote for her deal.By Tuesday afternoon, it became increasingly clear that her second vote would also fail.
Attorney General Geoffrey Cox said May's changes to her plan reduced the risk Britain could be trapped inside E.U. regulations — but didn't eliminate it. Then, both the influential pro-Brexit faction of lawmakers in May's party and her coalition partners from Northern Ireland said they would not vote for her deal.
If Parliament fails to act, then Britain will leave the E.U. without an arrangement for its future trading relationship. Businesses have warned that there could be gridlock at British ports as a result of customs checks and shortages of fresh produce.In the long run, the government says a no-deal scenario would leave the economy 6 percent to 9 percent smaller over 15 years than remaining in the E.U.
