On January 15, the parliamentarians strongly opposed to the separation treaty, which had been signed by May's team and the 27 in 2018 and arranged for the United Kingdom to remain in a single customs territory with the bloc until a definitive commercial agreement will be signed.

After overcoming a motion of censure against her, the head of government had to present a plan B and accept several amendments, including one that requires changing the document to avoid a rigid border with Ireland.

The previous supposes the return to the table of conversations in Brussels and the motion of today tried to confirm the endorsement of the Communes to the celebration of new negotiations with the directors of the block in the next days.

Thus, 303 deputies voted against the government's motion and 258 backed it, which showed the divisions in the ranks of the formation of the prime minister and the loss of authority over it.

Although this document is not binding, the results of the vote can have a negative impact on the dialogues with the EU, which the country's leadership tries to convince that it can obtain the support of its parliament if there are changes in the Brexit agreement. .

The departure of the United Kingdom from the community alliance must take place on March 29, according to the schedule foreseen.
