British lawmakers will vote on alternative options in the Brexit process as they try to take control of the U.K.'s departure from the EU. Here are the options on the table.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Members of Parliament will vote Wednesday evening on what their preferred courses of action are when it comes to Brexit. The options MPs are expected to vote on include the U.K. remaining in a customs union with the EU, a possible second referendum, revoking Article 50 or a no-deal exit.
The U.K.'s Parliament, rather like the British public, has been divided by Brexit into those who support remaining in the EU and those that support leaving, with many in between favoring varying degrees of closeness from the EU when Britain does leave the bloc. Bronwen Maddox, director of the think tank Institute for Government, told CNBC Wednesday that pro-EU MPs were hopeful of a change of direction.
"Both Conservatives and Labour have big divisions in them and that's not just about Brexit, it's really about completely different views on how to govern the country and what Britiain is in the future. And those big rifts would be there even if you magically took away the Brexit issue," she said. Robin Bew, the managing director of the Economist Intelligence Unit, told CNBC Wednesday that it still looks as if"not enough other hardcore Brexiteers will move to get her deal over the line."
