The Buzz | UK Parliament to vote on eight options for Brexit
British lawmakers will get to vote on eight widely differing options for the U.K.’s departure from the European Union.
House of Commons Speaker John Bercow selected the motions yesterday from 16 proposals submitted by lawmakers.
The ones to be considered include calls to leave the EU without a withdrawal deal, to stay in the EU’s customs union and single market, to put any EU divorce deal to a public referendum, and to cancel Brexit if the prospect of a no-deal Brexit gets close.
The “indicative votes” are intended to reveal if any kind of Brexit plan can command a majority in Parliament. Lawmakers have twice rejected Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal with the bloc.
The government has promised to consider the outcome of the votes, but not to be bound by them.
