Theresa May told Conservative MPs yesterday that she will resign if her Brexit deal passes, allowing a new leader to handle the second stage of the negotiations.
Parliament held votes on eight proposed alternatives to her deal. The options were: a second referendum, a customs union, Labour’s Brexit plan, common market, ruling out no deal by revoking Article 50, no deal exit on April 12, the so-called Malthouse compromises, or EFTA and EEA membership.
All of the above were rejected.
Is May’s deal, and the promise of her subsequent resignation, the only way out of the deadlock?
