Brexit battle moves to Parliament
None
Following the signing of the Brexit papers, a British political battle over the separation from the EU is expected to begin.
The deal must be approved by the UK Parliament, where no party has a majority and lawmakers range from burn-the-bridges Brexiteers to reconciliation-seeking supporters of the EU. Legislators on both sides hate the deal, a compromise that keeps Britain outside the EU with no say but still subject to the rules and the obligations of membership at least until the end of 2020 while a permanent new relationship is worked out.
Prime Minister Theresa May said Monday that Parliament will vote on the deal Dec. 11.
