BREAKING: MPs vote down all four indicative Brexit votes
A motion to support a confirmatory public vote was defeated with 292 votes to 280, a smaller majority than before.
The option was previously tabled by Labour former minister Dame Margaret Beckett and was defeated by 295 votes to 268.This time around the motion was drawn up by Labour MPs Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson, who argued that the Brexit debate needs to go back to the people. Mr Kyle said that MPs could still be debating Brexit for ‘weeks or months to come’ and that a confirmatory vote could start a process of reconciliation in the country.
He previously wrote in the Brighton & Hove Independent: ‘This is very different to the 2016 referendum. That referendum was advisory, this one will be binding.‘Even better, the second the deal is confirmed by the public it will go onto statute without ever needing to return to parliament. ‘Conversely, if the country refuses to confirm the deal then the status quo is maintained and government is instructed to revoke Article 50, again without having to return to parliament.
