The next Showdown points for the 12. April

On Friday evening, Prime Minister Theresa May had a third Parliament voting on the EU exit provided the agreement in question. Twice, the government was the boss with the divorce agreement in the lower house. Also in the last days, there was no indication that Dec will have a third attempt, more happiness. Therefore, she wrote in a letter to the deputies that she just wants the car then a new vote if there is “sufficient support” for the separation agreement.
May is not likely to survive a third consecutive defeat politically. In the past week she had made the parliamentarians more unpopular, after you had suggested in a speech that the members would act contrary to the will of the people.

According to this scenario the British need the EU’s 27 member States before the age of 12. April explain what you want. Immediately the authorities in London were then faced with the choice between two options: a hard Brexit on the 12. April or the participation in the European elections in may.
vote without a whip?
A clarification could bring it the next week. Maybe it comes next Wednesday in the lower house again to a series of votes. In the case of these “indicative votes” may be emerging after all, if there are, for example, in the house of Commons a majority for remaining in the EU customs Union. The conservative Minister of state, Rory Stewart, is in the British Public as a writer and as the author of a bestselling book about his walk through Afghanistan, called for a vote without a whip.
