When is Theresa May’s next Brexit vote and what’s the latest on a No Deal delay?

BREXIT has been delayed potentially by months, sparking doubts of a No Deal.

But how long of an extension did the PM ask for, and what’s the latest on Brexit? Here’s what we know so far.

When is Theresa May’s next Brexit vote?

On April 1, MPs will consider different Brexit options, on what will be the second day of voting.

The first round of votes saw Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement rejected for a third time.

Downing Street has said she intends to bring it back to the Commons for a fourth vote possibly this Tuesday or Wednesday.

The voting is expected to work in the same way as it did last week, when the options selected by the Speaker were printed on a ballot paper and lawmakers were asked to vote “aye” or “no” to each of them.

They were able to vote for as many of the proposals as they wished.

What’s the latest news on a Brexit delay?

After the PM’s deal was rejected for a third time, it was still uncertain how, when or even if the United Kingdom will ever leave the bloc it first joined 46 years ago.

Mrs May warned that she would not allow Britain to leave without a deal on April 12 – the new deadline set by the EU.

Any extension beyond that date would require Britain to take part in elections in May to the European Parliament – something Brexiteers are desperate to avoid.

With no majority yet in the House of Commons for any of the Brexit options, there was speculation that an election could be called, though such a vote would be unpredictable and it is unclear who would lead the Conservatives into it.

Remainers fear Brexit will make Britain poorer and divide the West as it grapples with both the unconventional U.S. presidency of Donald Trump and growing assertiveness from Russia and China.

Brexiteers say while the divorce might bring some short-term instability, in the longer term it will allow the United Kingdom to thrive if cut free from what they cast as a doomed attempt in European unity
