In an unprecedented development and in defiance of the government’s wishes, British MPs will on Wednesday pick up pen and paper to state their preferences on possible alternatives to Theresa May’s Brexit plan.
At 7:00 pm , MPs will collect a paper ballot setting out the various ideas, and be asked to mark “Aye” or “Noe” — for “Yes” or “No” in antiquated English — alongside each one. They can agree to as many options as they want. While the votes are being counted, MPs will debate and vote on the deal agreed with the EU last week to delay Brexit to at least April 12.
The group of MPs who conceived the idea, led by former minister Oliver Letwin, has acknowledged there may be no decision on Wednesday evening.
