Votes That Were Apart of Brexit

There were many votes that were apart of the decisions on what to do for Brexit and if Brexit should be an actual thing. However many say that many people did not take some of the votes seriously and that if they had know they would have voted instead of ignored it .

The first “meaningful” vote is that of the was when the Parliament rejected the 585-page treaty this was back in January. A very big reason for why it did not pass was the fact that it had a safety net arrangement know as the “Irish backstop”. It was designed to ensure that if the UK and the EU could not resolve their future trading agreements there can not be an physical broader being put up in the island of Ireland.

The second “meaningful” is that of Theresa May tried to again to have the parliament after her first vote of the worst margin defeat in the government’s history. She was hoping that she could teak the backstop so that the lawmakers in her party would reverse their votes. The fear that Brexit would not happen at all if the lawmaker kept rejecting her plan. The next thing that was up to vote was the No deal Brexit vote.

The last vote that was called was the vote for more time on the Brexit Deal. The vote is for if both deals are reject and there would be extra time needed due the fact that there would only be 15 days till the UK would exit the EU. However, even if the Theresa May’s deal is except she herself could push for extension herself. For that fact that the large amount of legislation associated with the withdrawal deal and there is not enough time for it.
