U.K. lawmakers look set to reject May’s revised Brexit deal.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> It's expected her Brexit plan will not receive enough votes to be approved on Tuesday evening, following criticism from euroskeptics and Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party , whose support was seen as crucial for it to be passed.
In a last-ditch attempt to allay those concerns and to persuade skeptical Brexiteers to accept her deal, May traveled to Strasbourg Monday night and said she had won"legally binding" assurances from the EU over the backstop and called on MPs to back her"improved" deal. May needs to win over the most ardent Brexiteers within her own Conservative party who belong to a euroskeptic European Research Group and the Northern Irish party that supports her government and gives it a slim majority in parliament, the DUP.
"The view of our fellow unionists is very important. We cannot split up the United Kingdom," he said Tuesday morning, adding that if the DUP were unhappy with the deal on offer"most unionists within the Conservative party will support the DUP" and would vote against the deal.
