British Parliament to vote on Brexit

Parliament’s vote on British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal will go ahead on Dec. 11, her office said Thursday, despite a newspaper report that ministers had sought a delay to prevent a defeat so big it might bring down the government, Reuters reported. The British parliament is midway through a five-day debate on the Brexit deal, ahead of the crunch vote which will define Britain’s departure from the European Union and could determine May’s own future as leader. She currently looks set to lose that vote.
