Brexit: Theresa May loses vote, demonstrators take to streets

405

British PM Theresa May’s Brexit deal was voted down by MPs at the House of Commons. Pro and anti-Brexit demonstrators gathered outside the UK parliament building. Both sides are equally in the dark about the long-term result of the country’s exit from the EU. MPs voted 432 to 202 against the deal reached between the British government and the EU. A second referendum may be called but only after Parliamentary approval. The govt. could extend the negotiating period with EU to reach a better deal.
