Brexit multiple choice again: How will UK parliament's indicative votes work?
LONDON - British lawmakers wrested control of the Brexit process for a second day on Monday in order to try to find a majority for an alternative way forward that could break the parliamentary deadlock over Prime Minister Theresa May’s proposed deal.
The first phase of so-called indicative votes held on March 27 did not show majority support for any options, but lawmakers hope a second round, on a narrower range of options, could see parliament coalesce behind a way forward.Below is how the process will work:Last week, speaker John Bercow selected eight Brexit options to be put to a vote, from a list of 16 proposals put forward by lawmakers.
The same proposal from Clarke last week was rejected by just 6 votes, with 265 lawmakers supporting it and 271 opposing it.Calls for an enhanced Norway-style deal which would include membership of the EU’s single market as well as a customs arrangement with the EU. The same proposal, then put forward by Labour lawmaker Margaret Beckett, was supported by 268 lawmakers and opposed by 295.Says that if Britain has not ratified an exit deal within two days of the day it is due to leave the EU, the government should seek a further extension to the Article 50 negotiating period.
