A third vote in the U.K. Parliament on her draft Brexit arrangement with the European union is expected next Tuesday.
Like a boxer who won't go down, the U.K. leader Theresa May is still hoping to get her proposed Brexit agreement through Parliament despite having massively failed with the same deal on two previous occasions.
Lawmakers on Thursday have already backed an extension until June 30 if Parliament approves the government's Brexit deal by March 20. Legally, Britain is still due to leave the European Union on March 29 and European heads of state will need to approve any extension. This is unlikely to happen and so, once again, the ten votes of the Northern Irish DUP are critical. In June 2017, the Democratic Unionist Party offered to prop up May's minority government in exchange for £1 billion to be spent on Northern Ireland. However the unionists hold a firm view that Brexit cannot separate Northern Ireland from mainland Britain in any way.
The"backstop" has been included into May's deal which would ensure no hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, even if no formal Brexit deal can be reached.
