The majority of May’s Conservative Party voted alongside the opposition Labour Party to back the prime minister’s approach by 420 votes to 110. The main rebellion came from pro-Brexit Conservatives who want Brexit to happen sooner.

But because May has already requested a delay, and with no alternative dates chosen to be voted on by lawmakers on Tuesday, the vote was not a major flashpoint in the country’s long-running political crisis over how to deliver Brexit.
