UK-EU Brexit talks are currently in a stalemate, as the UK Parliament has refused to support UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s negotiated deal with the bloc. Meanwhile, British members of Parliament have began debating a series of alternatives to May’s Brexit plan.
On Wednesday, UK lawmakers rejected Amendment F on Parliament’s approval for a no deal Brexit. Amendment F states that if Britain comes within seven calendar days of leaving the EU without a deal, the government must ask Parliament whether it would approve a no deal exit or if it should seek a further delay to Brexit in order to prevent this outcome and give Parliament time to determine a different way forward, Sputnik previously reported.
The next elections to the European Parliament are scheduled to take place between May 23 and May 26.
