LONDON - Britain's Parliament grabbed control Monday of the government's efforts to leave the European Union, challenging the country's political traditions and inflicting on Prime Minister Theresa May a rebuke not suffered by any recent predecessor.
May's grip on power is ebbing, with members of her Cabinet openly discussing contradictory Brexit policies, rumors swirling of a plot to replace her and several of her Conservative Party lawmakers calling on her to name a date for her departure from power.The latest manoeuvres come at the start of a week that was supposed to see Britain leaving the European Union, something that May had promised more than 100 times would happen on March 29.
MPs will now have the chance to vote on various options, such as revoking Article 50 and cancelling Brexit, holding another referendum, a deal including a customs union and single market membership or leaving the EU without a deal. Anxious at the deepening crisis in London, EU leaders last week agreed to postpone Brexit to avoid a potentially catastrophic"no deal" divorce on March 29, when 46 years of ties were formally scheduled to end.
