Rebel lawmakers in Britain's Parliament move to block 'no-deal' Brexit, setting up a likely new election
Kim HjelmgaardLONDON – The battle over Britain's efforts to leave the European Union intensified Tuesday as rebel lawmakers took a major step toward wresting control of the Brexit process away from Prime Minister Boris Johnson on a day when the country's leader suffered key defections and was deprived of his parliamentary majority.
Johnson lost the vote 328 to 301, with a total of 21 lawmakers, including several ex-cabinet members, siding with opposition parties to defeat Johnson's government. "Leaving without a deal will have significant negative consequences for the U.K. economy. Nor will it mark the end of Brexit, merely herald in the start of negotiations that promise to be significantly more difficult than those we have witnessed to date," said Anand Menon, a professor of politics at King's College London and the author of a report published Tuesday by think tank The UK in a Changing Europe.
