Parliament to vote on Brexit today
by Rob Beschizza from on (#47118)
Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal with the European Union finally comes before parliament for a vote today. The deal is expected to fall short, leaving Britain with several more difficult choices, but the margin of May's defeat will be a strong influence on which way it goes.
No-one really knows what will happen, but there's some agreement on the margin-of-defeat issue.
