“Chaos,” “meltdown,” and “betrayal” were just some of the headlines used to describe events in Parliament last week, but there were no surprises. In the three big votes, Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal for leaving the European Union lost again. MPs then rejected the no-deal exit, and the prime minister now gets to ask the EU if Britain can stay in for longer.
The only apparent boost for “Leavers” was President Trump’s intervention to say that a second referendum would be unfair on U.K. voters who won it the first time around.
