British PM Theresa May Survives Confidence Vote

London (Reuters) –

Following a resounding defeat of the proposed Brexit deal Tuesday, British Prime Minister Theresa May faced a non-confidence vote in the House of Commons.

The vote of 432 – 202 against the deal was the largest defeat in the House of Commons in almost a century.

The debate and vote today was to determine whether or not May’s government has the confidence of the House.

Members of the House voted 325 – 306 in favour of the PM.

It has been two and a half years since the country decided to leave the European Union. Britain has until March 29 to present its deal to the EU.
