London,mar 27:
Britain’s parliament sought a new Brexit strategy on Tuesday after seizing the initiative from Prime Minister Theresa May in a historic vote, with the risk of a chaotic ‘no-deal’ departure looming. Lawmakers exasperated by Britain’s failed efforts to find a way out of the European Union after three years of debates and negotiations voted on Monday to give themselves a broader say on what happens next.The motion creates parliamentary time for MPs to come up with their own Brexit proposals as Britain tries to stave off a messy divorce in two weeks. The Times newspaper said the vote left May ‘humiliated’ and bracing for early national polls. The Financial Times agreed that Britain’s leader now ‘risked losing control of Brexit.’The measure was backed primarily by pro-EU MPs who want to either reverse Brexit or preserve much closer economic relations with the remaining 27 EU states. But no one is entirely clear about how parliament is going to approach its new role in the week the 46-year UK-EU partnership was scheduled to have to come to an end.
EU leaders pushed back Brexit day to April 12 after meeting May in Brussels last week and deciding that Britain still did not know what it wanted to do.
