No-deal Brexit - Statistics & Facts
As 2018 drew to a close, Britain and the European Union finally reached a withdrawal agreement on how Brexit would proceed, following two years of tense negotiations. Despite this, the deal was initially rejected by the House of Commons in a vote on January 15, 2019, with 432 MPs voting against the deal, making it the heaviest defeat that a British government has faced in modern times. Although the British Prime Minister, Theresa May survived a no-confidence vote in the immediate aftermath of this defeat, it is unclear what she can do to get her deal through parliament at the second time of asking.
