London: UK MPs have voted in favour of delaying the Brexit process by at least three months, acknowledging that more time was needed to break the deadlock over Britain’s departure from the (EU), although a call for a second referendum was decisively rejected.
On Thursday night, the MPs voted 412 votes to 202 to approve of Prime Minister Theresa May’s plan to delay Brexit, after the House of Commons earlier this week overwhelmingly rejected her withdrawal agreement by a large margin, for a second time, and then voted to reject a no-deal Brexit, CNN reported.
The votes were the last in a series of vital parliamentary decisions on Brexit over several days, mean that Britain’s departure from the EU should not now take place before June 30 and gave May a window to resuscitate her plan.
