Storyline


The Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow on Monday ruled that UK Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal could not have a third vote in Parliament, causing more uncertainties for the Brexit process.

On its first outing in the House of Commons in January, the government's Brexit deal was rejected by 230 votes, the biggest defeat in British political history. In the second vote on March 12, it was beaten by a smaller margin of 149 votes.

May had hoped to be able to put her deal forward again Tuesday or Wednesday of this week ahead of the European Council meeting of leaders of EU member states on Thursday.

A plan had been mapped out that if the deal finally got through the House of Commons after two rejections, she would ask the EU for an extension of the March 29 departure date until June 30 to enable legal processes to be completed.

Citing parliamentary convention going back centuries, Bercow said only a substantially changed deal could be presented to the members of Parliament, which basically ruled out the possibility of having a third vote on the Brexit deal before the European Council meeting.

Analysts believe May will not put forward a vote on her deal this week, but the House of Commons is likely to vote on a modified Brexit deal next week.

May is now expected to write to European Council President Donald Tusk seeking an extension of Article 50, the process that set Britain's original departure date of March 29.
