British lawmakers crush Theresa May's Brexit deal by historic margin
May's deal was the soft Brexit option.
No deal is the hard Brexit option,
Remain is the anti-Brexit option.
Remain and hard Brexit members defeated May's deal.
The soft and hard Brexit members will defeat any move to remain.
They would together defeat a proposal for a new referendum, which remain members would support, though polls indicate the voters would again choose Brexit, anyay.
The bloody fools.
But remain and soft Brexit members might force delay.
All the same, delay, unless forever by increments, must end, and then without a deal and without a new referendum the result by default will be a hard Brexit.
British lawmakers have soundly rejected Theresa May's Brexit deal, in the biggest defeat for any UK government in the modern parliamentary era.
After 200 speeches across eight days of debate, members of the House of Commons ignored the Prime Minister's final pleas to support her plan and threw it out by 432 votes to 202.
The margin of defeat -- greater than the previous record set in 1924 -- means the Prime Minister now faces a deep political crisis with no clear way forward.
The opposition Labour party immediately triggered a vote of no-confidence in May's government, hoping to capitalize on a perilous moment to force a general election.
Acknowledging the scale of the defeat, the Prime Minister said she would allow time for the House of Commons to debate the motion on Wednesday.
