Dec. 12, 2018-British Prime Minister Theresa May survived a leadership challenge by members of her party today on a vote of 200-117.
The 117 members of the conservative Tory party support Brexit — the divorce of the United Kingdom from the European Union, but they oppose the deal she negotiated with EU representatives.
Ms. May is scheduled to travel Brussels again tomorrow to discuss a path forward. She said she would seek legal and political assurances from the European Council over unresolved questions over the Ireland-Northern Ireland border–the only land border the United Kingdom has with the EU.
Britain has until the end of March to agree to a framework for its separation from the EU before a 21-month transition period begins.
