UK Prime Minister Theresa May making final push to save her EU withdrawal deal after her promise to step down gained the deal some support but failed to win over lawmakers from Northern Ireland.
A general view as Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May stands, back centre, talking to lawmakers inside the House of Commons parliament in London Wednesday March 27, 2019. As Lawmakers sought Wednesday for an alternative to May's unpopular Brexit deal with Europe, with a series of 'indicative votes", May offered to resign from office if her deal is passed by lawmakers at some point and Britain left the European Union.
May pledged Wednesday night that she would resign if her Brexit deal was approved, in hopes of blunting opposition from lawmakers in her Conservative Party who have criticized her leadership. May has been under mounting pressure to quit from pro-Brexit Conservatives, who accuse her of negotiating a bad divorce deal that leaves Britain too closely tied to the bloc after it leaves.
It has not always deserved that reputation. The British system works best when one party has a parliamentary majority and can pass legislation. Minority governments struggle and seldom last long. The current situation is almost unprecedented: Britain has a minority government and a lame-duck prime minister, with both main parties split down the middle over how and whether to leave the EU.Pro-EU Conservative lawmaker Ken Clarke said Parliament was mired in "confusion and mayhem.
The plan is for the most popular ideas to move to a second vote Monday to find an option that can command a majority. Parliament would then instruct the government to negotiate that plan with the EU.The architect of the votes said the inconclusive outcome meant a damaging no-deal Brexit was becoming more likely.
