British MPs will vote on Wednesday on whether the country should leave the EU without a deal in just over two weeks, after overwhelmingly rejecting a draft divorce agreement. The House of Commons is expected to vote against a "no deal" Brexit, although this could still happen on March 29 unless it can agree on what should happen instead. If the "no-deal" option is voted down, the government is planning another Commons vote on Thursday on whether or not to request a Brexit delay. British media have reported that May could make a desperate attempt at a third vote on her deal, hoping that Brexit hardliners will fall in line. If MPs vote against a no-deal exit on Wednesday, and want to postpone Brexit, the other 27 EU nations would need to agree.
