Brexit: Parliament approves postponing Brexit date to May 22 if deal receives 'green light'

According to the information collected by the British television channel BBC, the amendment has been approved with 441 votes in favor and 105 against. In the event that the agreement is not approved, the new date for Brexit will be April 12. On the other hand, the parliamentarians have rejected the eight non-binding motions on possible alternatives to the Brexit agreement negotiated by the British ‘premier’. Among the rejected plans was one on a second referendum and a plan for the UK to remain in the Customs Union. Although they have been the ones who have obtained the most support, they have also been defeated. Likewise, the motions on a revocation of Article 50 to avoid a disorderly Brexit and an alternative plan presented by the Labor Party have been rejected. The votes have been held shortly after May met with the ‘Tories’ in the governing body of the Conservative Party in Parliament and offered her resignation for the next phase of Brexit if they support the agreement negotiated by London and Brussels in a third vote. May’s office has sent a statement to Conservative MPs that the race to succeed Prime Minister will start after May 22, when the UK will leave the EU, if the deal is approved, in line with the extension granted last week by European leaders, according to Reuters. The House of Commons has already rejected twice – once on January 15 and another on March 12 – the Brexi agreement t, but Downing Street intends to force a third vote this Friday with the intention of being the final one. The president of the lower house, John Bercow, has warned that it cannot be the same text.Until now, a majority of conservatives have refused to give the green light to the Withdrawal Agreement because of the ‘backstop’ or the emergency mechanism designed by the parties to prevent the ‘hard border’ between Northern Ireland and Ireland from returning with the break. However, some ‘Tories’ have begun to give in and are considering approving the Brexit agreement as the least bad of all possible options at the moment, which include a chaotic exit, cancel the divorce or hold a second referendum. The United Kingdom was scheduled to leave the European Union on March 29, but the extension obtained by May of the 27 has postponed Brexit until April 12, if there is no agreement, or May 22, if Parliament approves the agreement .
