Britain’s Parliament on Wednesday rejected leaving the EU without some kind of a deal, paving the way for yet another vote that would delay Brexit.

By 321 to 278, Parliament adopted a motion that ruled out a potentially chaotic “no-deal” Brexit under any circumstances.

It went further than the government’s own planned motion, which noted that Parliament did not want to leave without a deal March 29, the date set down in law to get out of the European Union.

While the approved motion has no legal force and ultimately may not prevent a no-deal exit after a possible delay, it carries considerable political force, especially as it demonstrated a substantial rebellion by members of Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservative Party.

The next step is a vote Thursday requesting an extension of the departure date.

After 2¹/₂ years of negotiations and two failed attempts to pass a Brexit deal proposed by May, the vote against a no-deal exit still leaves undecided how, when and on what terms Britain will leave the club it joined in 1973.
