UK PM Johnson puts his last-minute Brexit deal to a vote in an extraordinary sitting of the parliament, a day of reckoning that could decide the course of the UK's departure from the EU
Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson addresses a press conference during an European Union Summit at European Union Headquarters in Brussels on October 17, 2019.
Johnson cast the vote in parliament as the last chance to secure an orderly Brexit. Though he is obliged by law to seek a Brexit delay if his deal falls, Johnson said the United Kingdom would still leave on October 31. He didn't explain how. If he fails, Johnson will face the humiliation of Brexit unraveling after repeatedly promising that he would get it done - "do or die" - by October 31.
To win the vote, though, Johnson must persuade enough Brexit-supporting rebels in both his own Conservative Party and the opposition Labour Party to back his deal. His Northern Irish allies and the three main opposition parties oppose it.
