Parliament: Brexit Supporters

parliament: May wants to secure parliament's approval for her deal to keep close ties with the EU after leaving in March, but opposition is fierce, with Brexit supporters and opponents alike wanting to thwart or derail her plan, according to Nine News Australia. On the first day of debate, before the main vote on December 11, her government was found in contempt of parliament and then a group of her own Conservative Party lawmakers won a challenge to hand more power to the House of Commons if her deal is voted down.

That could reduce the likelihood of Britain leaving the EU without any deal, prompting the sterling currency to recover some of its losses after the vote on contempt drove it down to levels not seen since June last year. If lawmakers do not back her deal, May says, they could open the door either to Britain falling out of the EU without measures to soften the transition or to the possibility that Brexit does not happen. The debates and final vote on December 11 will determine how, and possibly even if, Britain leaves the EU as planned on March 29. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
