The British Parliament rejected a third agreement for an orderly Brexit

After the first devastating defeat of March and another in March, the Prime Minister's proposal received more adhesions, but it was missing 58 votes. The initial date of Brexit was this Friday, March 29, but May ask the EU to extend the deadline until April 12th.

The result of this Friday – of 344 negative votes against 286 positive votes – leaves in uncertainty the date and conditions in which the Brexit will take place.

As soon as the result of the vote was known, the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, called for summit on April 10 for bloc leaders to discuss next steps.

The options are more and more limited: either the Brexit is reversed, or a new extension is sought, either the country faces leaving the bloc without an agreement, which would have very damaging economic effects for the United Kingdom and the EU.

But the third rejection of the Brexit agreement closed the door to the possibility of an extension until May 22nd, the first option of those granted by the European Council last week which would have been activated only if British MPs had given their support to the agreement.

"We hope that the UK will tell us how to continue in this way before the summit so that the European Council has time to consider it," they said in a statement.

A spokesman for the European Council stressed that the bloc "is preparing for this since December 2017" and that the EU is now "totally ready for withdrawal without agreement on April 12 at midnight".

The British Parliament will vote on Monday a series of motions aimed at defining a new strategy agreed between all political forces and not negotiated unilaterally between the government and the EU.

After his third defeat, May, of the Conservative Party, said he would continue to fight for an "Orderly Brexit" and described "rejection" in Parliament as "serious."

Opposition Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, for his part, replied that May must change her agreement on Brexit or resign, adding that Parliament will have the opportunity on Monday to agree on "a better deal for the future".

In total, 34 conservative lawmakers rebelled against May and voted against the pact, while five Labor MPs ignored Corbyn and supported the deal.
