After multiple rejections, Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday outlined her latest plan to get Brexit enacted by Parliament.
This new plan is certain to spark great emotion. For a start, it includes a proposal to allow — assuming they first approve her bill — members of parliament to vote on whether Britain should hold a second Brexit referendum. That will earn some favor on the opposition benches, but it will also lead some to claim that the prime minister has abandoned her previous commitments to the people, namely, her pledge to ensure that the June 2016 Brexit referendum result be honored. May obviously believes that she had to make the second referendum vote offer in order to give her deal any chance of earning enough favor to win passage.
