March 14 (UPI) -- The British Parliament voted Thursday request a deadline extension for withdrawing from the European Union.
Members of Parliament voted 412-202 to ask the European Union to push the Brexit deadline from March 29 to at least June 30 after failing to come to an agreement earlier in the week on the terms of the withdrawal deal. They voted Wednesday against a no-deal Brexit, leaving Prime Minister Theresa May with little choice but to bring the Article 50 extension up for a vote.
