The United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May has welcomed the decision of European Union (EU) to postpone Brexit beyond 29th March.
The United Kingdom will be offered a adjournment up until 22nd May, if MP (Member of Parliament)’s agree the withdrawal deal negotiated with the European Union next week.
Talking on Theresa May’s acceptance on the offer from the EU, the European Council President Donald Tusk along with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said at media conference, “the British Prime Minister Theresa May has accepted the offer from EU.”
On 15 January 2019, the House of Commons voted 432 to 202 against the deal, which was the largest majority against a United Kingdom government ever.
On 24 February, Theresa May announced that the next vote on the withdrawal agreement would be on 12 March, just 17 days away from Brexit.
The deal was voted against 391 to 242, a loss of 149 votes down from 230 from when the deal was proposed in January.
On 18 March 2019, the Speaker informed the House of Commons that a third meaningful vote could only be held on a motion that was significantly different from the previous one, citing Parliamentary precedents going back to 1604.
