British MPs have resoundingly rejected Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit divorce deal for a second time, leaving the country's planned March 29 departure from the bloc in chaos and doubt. With fears rising in both the UK and the EU of a chaotic British departure, British lawmakers now face two starkly different choices: No deal or delay. A phalanx of pro-Brexit politicians supports a "no-deal" Brexit.

Extending the timeframe for Brexit would require approval from all 27 remaining EU member countries.
