British lawmakers voted to take control of Brexit from PM May for a day in a bid to find a way through the European Union divorce impasse that a majority in parliament could support.
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May makes a statement in the House of Commons outlining the next steps that parliament will take in the Brexit process in London on March 25, 2019.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.
Monday's vote was put forward by Oliver Letwin, a lawmaker in May's Conservative Party, and came after the prime minister admitted that the deal she had agreed with the EU after two years of talks still did not have enough support to pass. "No government could give a blank check to commit to an outcome without knowing what it is," May said before the vote."So I cannot commit the government to delivering the outcome of any votes held by this house."
But nearly three years after the 2016 EU membership referendum and four days before Britain was supposed to leave the bloc, it was still unclear how, when or if Brexit would take place, with parliament and the nation still bitterly divided.
