Theresa May lost another vote in the UK Parliament over her Brexit trading strategy

British Prime Minister Theresa May suffered another humiliating parliamentary defeat on Thursday, a symbolic vote in which he asked the chamber to reiterate its support for the government in its strategy for Brexit.

The deputies voted 303 for the rejection of the government motion and 258 for a few weeks from the official departure date of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

The vote, for this reason, underlined the President's weakness to seek changes in the EU's divorce agreement.

The defeat of May was badured when members of a fervent Brexit faction in the conservative ruling party, the so-called European research group, abstained in the vote consider that the government rejects the option of leaving the EU without an agreement.

International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, a prominent Brexit supporter of the government, had already warned that A government defeat, even if it is not binding, would send a bad message to the EU.

"They want to see if Parliament is consistent"he said. "I think that there is the the danger of sending wrong signals and I think we should understand that the public opinion wants us to leave the European Unionbut he prefers us to leave the European Union with an agreement ".

May refused to exclude a Brexit without agreement in an attempt to obtain concessions en bloc. Most companies and economists claim that the UK economy would suffer serious damage if the country leaves the EU on March 29 without an agreement, which would lead to tariffs and other trade barriers. .

The 27 countries that remain in the The EU insists that the binding agreement signed with May's government in November can not be renegotiated.

The leaders of the bloc showed Exasperated by the British demand for last-minute changes and the lack of firm proposals.

The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, who chairs the European summits, tweeted: "The lack of information is not always good news, the EU27 expects concrete and realistic proposals from London on how to break the #Brexit stalemate".
