  • -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.

-Even though British Prime Minister, Theresa May,
