UK PM May survives confidence vote after Brexit humiliation
[DAWN] British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday survived a no-confidence vote sparked by the crushing defeat of her Brexit deal just weeks before the UK leaves the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...A stunning 24-hour span saw May on Tuesday dealt the heaviest drubbing by parliament in modern British political history ‐ 432 votes to 202 ‐ over the divorce terms she reached with Brussels. She emerged victorious in parliament's first no-confidence vote in a British government in 26 years on Wednesday by a 325-306 margin, a majority of 19.
