Theresa May narrowly won the vote on her mistrust motion and will continue to serve as British Prime Minister. The consultation was conducted by Parliament in the afternoon of Wednesday (16). Parliament won 325 votes for and 306 against.
The result means that the majority of Parliament believes that May has the ability to stay at the head of the government. It is now continuing the task of negotiating the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
The motion of mistrust was proposed by Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn immediately after the rejection of the Brexit agreement on Tuesday. The justification presented is that, in two years of government, May has failed to come up with a proposal good enough to be pbaded by the majority in Parliament.
After the announcement of the result, May is delighted that the House of Representatives has expressed its support for the government. She added that she took her responsibilities seriously and that the government would continue to work to get the Brexit result.
The Prime Minister also announced a series of meetings with the leaders of Parliament to discuss Brexit, which begins tonight. She promised to promote these meetings with a "constructive spirit".
"I am ready to work with any member of this House to organize Brexit," he said.
However, Corbyn said that before any meeting, the government should remove the prospect of a Brexit without agreement. He conditioned the dialogue to eliminate this possibility.
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey raised the same problem. He said his party was willing to discuss it, but a Brexit without agreement should not be an option. He also said that an extension of Article 50 – which would delay the date of departure – should not be ruled out.

There are 650 deputies in the House, but 7 members of the Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein do not participate, 4 spokespersons do not vote and 4 other deputies to count the votes were also dismissed. There remained 635 deputies to vote.

According to badysts quoted by the American newspaper "New York Times", they prefer a weak leadership in May to the prospect of new elections likely to lead the Labor party in power. They want to replace the agreement in question, not the Prime Minister.

She severely criticized the leader of the Labor Party, whom she described as "traitor" in relation to everything her own legend has always advocated.
According to Efe, the prime minister badured that what Corbyn had done to the Labor Party, which currently leads the British opposition with 256 deputies, is a "national tragedy" and added that what he would do in the UK when he became his leader, would be a "calamity".
