British lawmakers vote to seize control of Brexit for a day LONDON — British lawmakers voted on Monday to wrest control of Brexit from Prime Minister Theresa May for a day in a bid to find a way through the European Union divorce impasse that a majority in parliament could support. Lawmakers should now vote on a range of Brexit options on Wednesday, giving parliament a chance to indicate whether it can agree on a deal with closer ties to Brussels, and then try to push the government in that direction. The move underlined to what extent May has lost her authority, although she said the government would not be bound by the results of the so-called indicative votes on Wednesday. Monday's vote was put forward by Oliver Letwin, a lawmaker in May's Conservative Party, and came after the prime minister admitted that the deal she had agreed with the EU after two years of talks still did not have enough support to pass. Lawmakers backed Letwin's proposal by 329 votes to 302, and were almost certain to confirm their decision in the final vote of the evening on the overall "motion as amended". Earlier, May said the proposal would set an unwelcome precedent and could lead to support for an outcome to which the EU itself would not agree. "No government could give a blank check to commit to an outcome without knowing what it is," May said before the vote. "So I cannot commit the government to delivering the outcome of any votes held by this house." Last week, the EU agreed to delay Britain's original March 29 departure date because of the deadlock. Now, it will leave the EU on May 22 if May's deal is approved by parliament this week. If not, it will have until April 12 to outline its plans. Monday's vote was an attempt to find a way to come up with such a plan. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/british-lawmakers-vote-seize-control-brexit-day-n987251

firstly they are not refferred to as lawmkakers but as Members of Parliament ie representatives of the people who elected them
seized control.. well that's media soundbites,,, the reality is that MPs have gone against May and not given her way.. the backup she wanted to her proposals over half of the voters voted to leave the EU the ideas that closer ties are needed is whish ful thinking on behalf of the eu and those who voted to remain in Europe
meanwhile the 29th draws nearer... that's the date the Queen signed for us to leave
there could trouble a head May is only the visual face of a problem wich will leave deep deep resentments for decades
""""Initially, diplomats and other government officials both inside and outside the EU could not comprehend why the UK wants to leave the EU. Now they are struggling even more to grasp how and why British politicians are making such a hash of it."""
I got this from CNN... I thought CNN was supposed to be reliable ..obviously not this time it hadn't done its home work..... the brit polito are making a hash of it because a/a remainer was given to negociation to leave powers 2/ brit politos have played self interested party politics all the way along …. when Brexit its self crossed all political social religious and social boundries 3/if CNN doesn't know why the PEOPLE voted to get out of Europe .. then one can o0nly say CNN is not a reliable source of information and certainly not to be trusted

There are bound to be 2 sides or there wouldn't be the disagreements that have brought this whole thing (Brixit) to a head. You seem to think anybody that does not see things your way is wrong. From where I sit, I'd rather get information about both points of view.

CNN are fake news, there are not a news channel at all, they are a far left propaganda channel.

From where I sit, I'd rather get information about both points of view. but they are not giving either side,,, they are giving false informatiom/lies and bitty information which jumps all over the place and of course there are two sides.. but in this instance CNN gives neither as for me thinking any thing that doesn't see things my way is wrong,,,,,oh please this is not a subject of right and wrong its a subject of lawful and unlawful and a suject of members of parliament acting dishonourably by serving party interests and personal interests and ignoring the mandate from the people/// many of the elected MPs and Prime minister have set them selves up in opposition to the will of the people ie are trying to subvert the will of the people on behalf of a foreign entity with a vested interest ignoring the will shown in the refferender[the result of which was not legally binding until the fools of Westminster made it so] [not even a foreign power]
