Brexit vote was humiliating defeat, but May will likely stagger on

CNN  

London CNN — Just 24 hours after incurring a historic parliamentary defeat, British Prime Minister Theresa May faces another challenge to her premiership: A vote of no confidence in her government. Anyone who doubted the degree of chaos in British politics right now should consider this: Many MPs who Wednesday will vote to save May’s government are the same MPs who Tuesday night inflicted the defeat of her Brexit deal which triggered the confidence vote in question. After Theresa May’s Brexit deal suffered a crushing defeat in Parliament, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn tabled a vote of no confidence. Her strategy, after winning the confidence vote as expected Wednesday evening, is to return to the Commons next Monday with an alternative Brexit plan that can test the mood of Parliament.
