The British Parliament has again rejected Theresa May's plan: what will happen to Brexit?

The British Parliament has again rejected the proposed departure of Theresa May. There were 344 negative votes against 286 positive votes.

British government lawyer Geoffrey Cox on Friday opened the debate on the "divorce" agreement United Kingdom of the European Union. The official tried to convince the legislators that only the withdrawal text was put to the vote and not the subsequent political declaration, which was to remain for later. But it was not enough.

It has not reached either the Prime Minister's commitment to resign if the pact is approved, to let another leader lead the process to the next instance. May wanted to benefit from the extension granted by the community bloc for May 22. For that, it was imperative that the agreement of today be approved.

"The consequences of the decision of the House are serious," May said. He added, "I'm afraid we are reaching the limits of this process."
