UK government survives no-confidence vote after historic Brexit defeat
London (CNN)Theresa May has called on Britain’s political parties to “put self-interest aside” and work together on a compromise Brexit deal, hours after her government survived a no-confidence vote Wednesday night.
Lawmakers voted 325 to 306 in favor of the government remaining in power, one day after they rejected the Prime Minister’s Brexit deal by 230 votes, in the biggest defeat for any UK government in the modern parliamentary era.
In a statement to the nation after the confidence vote, May admitted that “the events of the past 24 hours will have been unsettling” to the public, but urged lawmakers to come together to “find a way forward.”
