-Even though British Prime Minister, Theresa May,
survived a no-confidence vote in Parliament,
her Brexit deal didn't make it.
With the deadline for Britain to leave the European Union
looming, what happens next?
First, May is meeting with members of Parliament
to figure out what a new deal could entail.
But any agreement would have to be approved
by European leaders who have said they're unlikely
to make any new concessions to Brits.
-We must protect the single market, its coherence,
and we reaffirmed our desire not to give any ground on this plan.
-If it gets EU approval,
any deal would face another vote in Parliament.
What happens if May can't construct a new agreement?
Well, she could try to get European leaders
to extend Article 50,
the measure that set the March 29th deadline two years ago.
This seems like the most-likely scenario.
Or she could put Brexit to a second vote in Britain.
But this would be expected to take at least 21 weeks
and it's something May has said she won't do.
-I say to the honorable gentleman, once again,
a vote was taken in 2016
and I believe it is incumbent on this Parliament
to deliver on that vote.
-If both of those options are off the table,
Britain could leave Europe without a deal
and economists predict it could be quite painful.
Brits would likely encounter
empty grocery stores, tariffs on trade,
and restrictions at European borders.
There's particular concern at the area dividing Ireland,
which will remain in the European Union,
and Northern Ireland,
which will leave as part of the United Kingdom.
The peace agreement between the two is only 20 years old
and there are fears that a hard border
could re-ignite tensions there.
Some in Britain are pushing May
to go that route anyway, while others have urged
May to guarantee there won't be a no-deal
Brexit.
