Last night, British MPs voted on eight different options for Brexit, but none of them received the support of a parliamentary majority that would clarify the direction of Great Britain in the process of exiting the European Union.

By voting in favor of those options, parliament was trying to find an alternative to the Brexit deal that Prime Minister Theresa May reached with Brussels. That agreement has so far been rejected twice by the parliament by a convincing majority.

Among the options MPs voted on today were, among other things, leaving the EU on April 12 without a deal, remaining in the EU customs union and single market, putting any EU withdrawal agreement to a referendum and opting out of Brexit if a no-deal exit is reached. agreement becomes a likely option, according to the Associated Press.

The proposal that Great Britain should remain in a permanent customs union with the EU after Brexit received the greatest support, for which 264 MPs voted, and 272 against.

The proposal to hold a referendum on any Brexit agreement was also rejected by a narrow majority. 268 MPs voted for that plan, and 295 voted against it, the BBC reported.

Leaving the EU on April 12 without a deal was rejected by a landslide, 160 to 400.

184 MPs voted in favor of abandoning Brexit, in the event that the separation agreement is not adopted before leaving the Union, and 293 voted against.

British MPs plan to narrow down the list of Brexit options and vote on them again on Monday.

The UK Parliament voted overwhelmingly to delay Brexit until April 12 or May 22.

Last Sunday, the EU decided to delay Britain's exit from membership until April 12, if the parliament in London rejects the Brexit agreement reached for the third time, and if it adopts it, the deadline for Brexit would be May 22, the day before the European Parliament elections. .
