UK Parliament approves Brexit postponement but rejects new referendum – 14/03/2019

The British Parliament has just approved a request to the European Union (EU) the UK departure date of the block is delayed, fixed on March 29th.

In the House of Commons, the vote was 412 votes for yes and 202 for no.

In this way, MPs supported a government motion that the government would ask for an extension of the bargaining period until June 30 if the House approved a "brexit" pact before March 20 – the day before European Council – and that it would be longer if there is no agreement.

But there will be no second referendum. The motion that proposed it was brutally defeated in the House of Commons by a majority of 249 votes. Workers and conservatives gathered to bury this idea

The leader of the Labor Party made an ostentatious demonstration of his party's abstention in the House of Commons, 334 votes for no in referendum and 85 votes for yes, one of the most important amendments tabled on this historic day in Parliament was rejected.

The H amendment, presented by Sarah Wallaston, "instructs the Prime Minister to request an extension of Article 50 in order to hold a second referendum".

Legislators felt the demand was too advanced and preferred to find a consensus to negotiate with the European Union.

The amendment was one of the four amendments made this morning by President John Berkow for the debate and the vote that took place on Thursday night. The debate was not led by Prime Minister Theresa May, who remains hoarse, but by Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington, who is officially Cabinet Minister.

The government today introduced the voting motion in the House of Commons the extension of Article 50, which represents the divorce between Great Britain and the European Union, until June 30. But this date can be modified by the amendments of the parliamentarians.

Jeremy Corbyn, union leader, has introduced another and needs to be voted on. He proposes to extend Article 50 "in order to prevent leaving Europe without agreement and to obtain parliamentary time to find a parliamentary majority with another" approach "against The last amendment is to prevent the government from submitting another "important vote" on a plan already rejected by Parliament.

This amendment is essential because the Prime Minister's plan is to represent for the third time his plan for Brexit, which has already been rejected a second time by Parliament.

She seeks the advice of Attorney General Geoffrey Cox for legal advice and negotiates with the Brexiters. But a rule, last applied in 1949, would allow the Speaker of the House of Commons to prevent him from doing so because has already been treated twice.

The government has already begun its lobby to prevent the possibility of a second referendum. At least 110 lawmakers would have voted against tonight.

Parliamentarians prefer a two-year period to rethink Brexit, to find coincidences and above all, to peacefully leave the European Union with lasting and friendly agreements.

In a rare intervention, US President Donald Trump reappeared this morning on a D-day in Britain. After his terrifying state visit to the kingdom, he tweeted that his administration "Looking forward to negotiating a large-scale trade deal with Britain. The potential is unlimited. "He was the protagonist who was missing at historic hours in this British constitutional crisis.

From Brussels, the news is contradictory. President Donald Tusk has stated that an extension of Article 50 is going to be accepted "If Britain rethinks its strategy" and called on European leaders "to open a long article 50 postponement", in what appears to be an opening of the European red lines.

At the same time, it seems that other countries prefer that on March 29, Britain leaves the EU and does not take part in the European elections. They consider that their presence would be toxic in the face of the wave of populism that is developing on the continent.
