May’s proposed “Withdrawal Agreement” was agreed with EU leaders in November last year. ... It’s reportedly the largest defeat for a sitting government in U.K. political history. Despite the result, and expressing a defiant tone, May told lawmakers
that she wanted to show those who voted leave the EU that it was her
“duty to deliver” on Brexit. ... On June 23, 2016, voters in the U.K. favored leaving the EU by 51.9
percent. The U.K. is legally set to leave the political and trading bloc
