British lawmakers on Friday rejected the government's Brexit deal for a third time, leaving the U.K. facing the stark prospect of a chaotic departure from the European Union in just two weeks, with political leaders in turmoil and the country ill-prepared for the shock. May's deal was voted down even after the prime minister sacrificed her job in exchange for Brexit, promising to quit if lawmakers approved the agreement. The government had also warned pro-Brexit politicians that rejecting May's deal could see Britain's departure from the EU delayed indefinitely. If lawmakers back a new proposal, Britain would need to seek a new delay to Brexit from the bloc to implement it. The main "Leave Means Leave" protest outside Parliament was attended by senior Brexiteers including former U.K.
