The 358 to 234 vote paves the way for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to deliver on his winning general election promise to "get Brexit done" without further delays on January 31. The main opposition Labour – out of power since 2010 and riven by internal conflicts over Britain's place in the world – was relegated to its worst defeat since 1935.
The 2016 Brexit campaign was also dominated by debates over migrants and Britain's right to control its frontiers.The House of Commons is expected to formally approve Johnson's separation terms on January 9.Yet Britain remains a politically divided country in which arguments over Europe rage on.But he told parliament ahead of Friday's vote that Johnson was setting the country on a "reckless direction" that handed power to big business and risked consumers' health.
Britain's formal departure on January 31 is due to be followed by an 11-month transition period during which things are to stay pretty much as now.
