The plan they all finally agreed on -- after turning down four other proposals -- was submitted by May herself: to ask EU leaders to simply push Brexit back. By AFPMore by this AuthorLONDON,Britain's parliament on Thursday voted to ask the European Union to delay Brexit until at least June and head off a chaotic end to their 46-year partnership in two weeks. The plan they all finally agreed on -- after turning down four other proposals -- was submitted by May herself: to ask EU leaders to simply push Brexit back. A bigger delay would also see Britain take part in European Parliament elections in May -- bizarrely re-immersing the country in EU politics after Brexit was originally meant to have gone into effect. Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney mentioned the possibility on Thursday of Brexit being pushed back until the end of 2020.
