The legal deadline for Brexit is now April 12th, which is just two weeks away
MARCH 29TH was meant to be the day when Britain left the European Union. Instead, Theresa May marked the day by losing yet another Commons vote on her Brexit deal. Yet the margin of the prime minister’s defeat was significantly smaller than in the two previous votes. She was defeated by 58 votes, having previously lost by 149 on March 12th and 220 on January 15th.
Meanwhile on April 1st MPs will hold a second round of indicative votes on what kind of Brexit they prefer. As in the first round, it is possible that no plan will secure a majority. But it is just as likely that at least one proposal, most probably the idea of joining a permanent customs union with the EU, will pass. So might a plan to hold a referendum on any Brexit deal.
