The prime minister's resignation announcement does not appear to have been decisive in winning support for her Brexit deal.
However, her resignation does not appear to have been decisive in winning sufficient support for her deal.
However, within hours the rush of steam that had inflated her deal, quickly evaporated. The Democratic Unionist Party, which props up May's minority government, announced that they would continue to oppose the deal regardless. Hopes that they might be persuaded to abstain in another vote were also quashed.The DUP's announcement also triggered a rapid about-turn from a number of Conservative Brexiteers.
And with the Speaker John Bercow also insisting on Wednesday that he will use all of his powers to block a third vote on the deal happening at all, the odds of May ever winning agreement for her deal are rapidly diminishing. The two options that gained the most support were leaving the EU with a Customs Union, and a second EU referendum.
