The British House of Commons on Wednesday backed a revised version of the European Union’s exit from Prime Minister Theresa May, with the possibility of postponing the exit.

The House of Commons approved the three-step plan unveiled by May that would give it more time to renegotiate an agreement reached with Brussels in 2018.

May said that if it failed to make the necessary amendments to obtain the approval of the deputies, they could vote on March 13 and 14 to go out without an agreement on March 29 or the postponement.

The House of Commons members expressed overwhelming support for an amendment proposed by Labor MP Everett Cooper and seeks to oblige May with a date.

The amendment received 520 votes to 20 votes.

The members also voted on other amendments made by other House of Commons members, including the approval without a requirement on the condition of his conservative Alberto Costa that the quest for an agreement on the rights of citizens after Brexit under any scenario.

On the other hand, the deputies rejected an amendment by opposition Labor leader Jeremy Corbin calling on the government to adopt the preferred worker position from Brexit.

It stipulates that the government should negotiate the survival of Britain in a customs union after Brexit, and lost 323 votes to 240.

On Monday, Corbin announced that the Labor Party would support a second referendum if the amendment was rejected.

The deputies also rejected an amendment by Scottish nationalists asking Theresa May to immediately leave the country without an agreement “under any circumstances” regardless of the date of exit.

And voted 324 members of the House of Commons against the amendment, while 288 members supported it.
