The 308 MPs that voted TO leave the EU without an agreement include a large number of what would be considered Republicans over here. That is to say, there were MPs who voted the way they did because they just want to FUCK SHIT UP ™. Because fucking shit up owns the libs.
Ending the widely-feared possibility of Britain crashing out of the European Union without a Brexit agreement, Parliament voted narrowly against the no-deal “option” Wednesday evening.
MPs have voted by 312 to 308 to reject leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement. It is not a legally-binding decision – and it does not rule out the UK leaving the EU. But it means MPs could now get a vote on delaying Brexit. That vote would take place on Thursday, and if it is passed – and the EU agrees to it – the UK will not leave the EU as planned on 29 March.
The vote increases the likelihood of a softer Brexit or even none at all, though it’s anyone’s guess how it will shake out. A vote to ask the EU to extend the UK’s deadline comes next, but a new referendum, a general election and further negotiation with Brussels are all on various power-players’ agendas. Prime Minister May may even try to save her twice-thrashed deal.
