U.K. Prime Minister May Loses Brexit Vote By 344 To 286

Daily Mail: May loses Brexit vote by 344 to 286: PM hints at an election by saying 'I fear we are reaching the limits of the process' after failing to pass her deal despite Brexiteer climbdown

* Theresa May's deal faced a make-or-break vote and will warn not to vote for it would be a 'betrayal' of public
* Her withdrawal agreement received 286 votes from MPs but 344 were against it - a deficit of 58 votes
* 34 Tory rebels - 28 Brexiteers and six remainers - while only five Labour MPs sided with the PM in Commons
* Boris Johnson had thrown his weight behind the deal - but hardcore Brexiteers say no to 'surrender' to EU
* Prime Minister could be forced to call a General Election as early as next week as UK heads for softer Brexit

Theresa May's Brexit is in tatters today - and Tory rebels are already calling on her to quit - after her deal was defeated by 58 votes in the Commons.

The Prime Minister has now hinted she will consider collapsing Parliament and calling a general election after the 'grave' result and said: 'I fear we are reaching the limits of the process in this House.'

Britain will now not leave the EU on May 22 and Mrs May is expected to beg Brussels for a longer Article 50 extension to avoid a No Deal Brexit on April 12.

WNU Editor: In such a normal situation the U.K. should get ready for a hard Brexit. But the problem is that a majority of MPs are against Brexit, and I am also sure they are not going to lay the groundwork to respect the decision that U.K. voters made to leave the European Union. So what is next? I predict one of two things. A indefinite delay, or an election where the next government will either continue with the process of Brexit (which I doubt), or terminate it and disregard the results of the referendum (which I expect).
