Britain parliament votes in Favour of BREXIT.
Members of Parliament in Britain have voted in favour of a bill to end Britain’s EU membership, a key moment for the government’s Brexit strategy despite opposition accusations of an unprecedented power grab.
Lawmakers voted by three-twenty-six to two-ninety in favour of backing the legislation, after more than thirteen hours of debate, which will now go forward for further scrutiny by MPs.
The bill is aimed at repealing the 1972 law through which Britain joined the bloc, transferring in bulk around twelve thousand existing EU regulations onto the British statute books.
It is the next step in implementing last year’s historic referendum vote to leave the EU, after Prime Minister THERESA MAY formally notified Brussels of Britain’s withdrawal in March.
May’s Conservative government won the parliamentary vote thanks to its alliance with the Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party.
The main opposition Labour party had voiced its objection to the bill, arguing that its provisions to smooth the transfer of EU laws represent an unacceptable expansion of executive power.
