On this chaotic and historic day in Britain, the Prime Minister Theresa May says she's "ready to go before" the next stage of the Brexit to ensure an orderly exit process if your plan is approved, when the House of Commons has taken control of it and debated "indicative votes" for a different path for European divorce. But none of the eight options got the majority of MPs, including a second referendum and the customs union, although they were the most voted.

The second referendum was rejected by 295 votes to 268 and the customs union received 307 votes against 237 votes. The repeal of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty "in case of non-agreement not approved by Parliament on the day of their departure" was rejected by 293 votes to 184.

What happened today? We tell you the most important news of the day and what will happen tomorrow when you get up

Monday to Friday afternoon.

Theresa May will not be in charge of negotiations on how relations with the EU will be after the divorce. She subordinated her "sacrifice" to the approval of her plan for Brexit. The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, came back to annoy him. He warned that he would not accept the "significant vote" of May he was identical to the one who had already been twice rejected in the House.

"I've clearly heard the encouragement, I'm not going to hinder the way," May told the Conservatives who had listened to her in the 1922 Committee, the most powerful of her party, Wednesday at the 39, tea time. In return, they vote their plan in the House of Commons. But this project is not yet a reality.

"I ask all those present in this room to support the agreement so that we can fulfill our historic obligation: to respect the decision of the British people and to leave the European Union in an orderly manner," said May, after acknowledging that he had made "some mistakes". "And without offering a departure time.

Conservatives and the opposition have called for his resignation to get out of the unprecedented political crisis in which the kingdom is submerged. The future is not better: it could be replaced by a Brexitier ultra-right, anti-European and xenophobic, with unpredictable consequences for the kingdom. Nobody has any idea of ​​the attitude that the Prime Minister will adopt if his plan does not pbad. It's another big unknown. You can stay in power.

His departure was the most anticipated announcement, as the country is plunged into unprecedented political chaos because of Brexit. Parliament takes control of the European divorce and seeks to moderate it. He discussed eight amendments of "indicative votes", which include a second referendum, a Brexit with a customs union and a single market and an exit to the Norwegian. All options were rejected. But the customs union and a second referendum have garnered more votes than the Prime Minister's plan the two times he has tabled it in Parliament.

The big unknown is the departure date of Theresa May. It is unclear whether the Prime Minister will be able to adopt his Brexit plan for the third time in the House of Commons next Thursday or Friday. The condition for leaving is that the deputy ministers support their plan. The President of the House warned yesterday that there could be no "repeated votes" if the motions did not include something new. A great challenge for the Prime Minister, who for the moment has nothing to add as a novelty.

May has been working for 24 hours to get the support of the Brexiters in their agreement. They prefer this bad agreement to a No Brexit, which is a concrete possibility. But they made it a condition that the DUP, the party of Protestant Democratic Unionists of Northern Ireland, support them. The DUP refuses to support the agreement and will vote against it.

In an explosive statement, her leader, Arlene Foster, said that "before Brexit, the most important for us is the unity of the UK, and this deal threatens their integrity." If you vote however, May's draft will also be rejected.

The first to change on May's plan was the aristocrat Jacob Regg Moss, a Brexitier who announced that he would vote, even if the DUP abstained. The candidate to replace him, Boris Johnson, will support the agreement, but many Brexitiers They do not want to accept this suggestion. They do not accept this plan, but the prospect is that there is no Brexit if MPs find an alternative solution by consensus. Fifteen other Conservative legislators oppose his support. The possibilities of general elections are increasing.

For your plan to pbad, The month of May, 303 deputies out of 315 deputies, the 10 votes of the DUP and at least 7 independent supporters of the Labor party. A difficult equation, with a rebel party and the DUP furious with it over guarantees in Northern Ireland.

With this resignation, May wants her Brexit referendum model to be her legacy and convinces the Conservative MPs to support her plan. Critics argue that she is not trying to save the country but the conservative party of a historic division. The party imagines that if the deal is over, it is time to launch a campaign to replace the leader of the Conservatives. A process that would begin May 23 to have time to crown the new leader at the Conservative Party conference. His favorite candidate is Boris Johnson, former leader of the Brexit campaign.

For the first time since the beginning of Brexit, the House of Commons has sought a consensus on an alternative in the divorce process, which the government has never allowed to date. The "President" (Speaker of the House) chose eight of the 16 exit options presented and MPs voted, without obtaining a majority of votes. The debate will continue to reach consensus for a new Brexit against the clock, which is exciting the European Union. The last time Parliament took control was in the British Civil War.

Some of the options were: – "Britain left the European Union with a large customs union", Conservative Ken Clarke.

– "A permanent European Union, including alignment on the single market in terms of future rights and regulations", proposed by Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

– "Great Britain repeals Article 50 if Parliament does not agree to leave without agreement" to avoid the non-agreement, by Joanna Cherry.

– "Any agreement on the Brexit must be approved at a second referendum", proposed by the former Chancellor of Labor, Margaret Beckett. Finally, if MEPs can not agree on an agreement on Brexit, they will seek a temporary agreement with the EU when negotiating a trade agreement with them.

On this day without any British political experience, MPs voted options in a role with all the alternatives, where they had to choose their preference to speed up the methodology. A process that took more than two hours and was rejected one by one. MEPs approved the Brexit postponement agreed by Theresa May with the EU by a majority of 336 votes. The chaos persists in Britain, without finding a solution to his psychodrama Brexit.
