British
lawmakers vote against parliamentary veto power over Prime Minister
Theresa May’s Brexit deal. Labour MP Chris Leslie’s proposed
amendment was rejected by a majority of 33 MPs on Tuesday. The move
makes it easier for the government to clinch a Brexit deal without
much trouble from the parliament.
May is
attempting to get the article 50 bill through the House of Commons
without any change. Triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty would
start the formal negotiations on Brexit.
The process
was facilitated after the amendment was rejected 312 to 293 Tuesday.
Seven Conservatives voted for the amendment along with 210 Labour and
54 Scottish National Party (SNP) MPs. Earlier in the day, the MPs
also voted against an SNP amendment by 336 votes to 88.
On
Wednesday, MPs are set to vote on another Brexit-related issue
concerning European Union nationals living in the UK.
