British Parliament wants to Brexit-shift

The British house of Commons has pronounced itself clearly in favour of asking the EU for an extension of time for the Brexit. A second Referendum on the UK's exit from the EU had rejected the members previously.

The British Prime Minister Theresa May is to ask the EU for the postponement of the Brexits. A wide majority of the 412 deputies voted for a resolution, by contrast, 202 of the parliamentarians voted in. Prime Minister Theresa May is now to requests, in Brussels at least three months more time for the withdrawal from the EU.

A shift of the exit date must then agree to all the heads of state and government of the EU. EU Council President Donald Tusk, however, had already indicated to advertise the heads of state for an extension of time. He will urge before the next EU summit of the 27 member States to vote for a broad extension of the deadline, "if the United Kingdom considers it necessary to reconsider its strategy and, in London, about that unanimity can produce," he wrote on Twitter.

Before the final vote had been members of several of the Amendments. With a wide majority of them spoke out against a second Referendum. Only 85 members wanted the new edition to the vote on the fate of the UK in the EU.

Also with the 312 to 314 votes scarce - was rejected a request that would have allowed the Parliament itself takes control over the agenda - so far, the government determines the topics. In the case of a positive vote of the lower house in a debate on Brexit options force. That would have been a defeat for Prime Minister in May.
