UK parliament taking control of Brexit is worrying precedent – Minister

Andrea Leadsom, who is in charge of the British Government’s business in parliament, on Wednesday said the government would oppose the business motion allowing lawmakers to take control of the Brexit process.
Leadsom, however, called it a worrying precedent.
“Today’s motion is an extremely concerning precedent for our democracy.
“It is for parliament to scrutinise, to amend, to reject and to approve, what today does is effectively turn that precedent on its head,’’ she told parliament.
According to her, those who are not in government are deciding the business.
As the UK’s three-year Brexit crisis spins towards its finale, it is still uncertain how, when or even if it will leave the EU, though May hopes to bring her deal back to parliament later.
Lawmakers, with British politics at fever pitch, grabbed control to have so-called indicative votes on Brexit.
The media report said they have 16 options ranging from a much closer alignment with the EU to leaving without a deal or revoking the divorce papers.

Just two days before the UK had been originally due to leave the EU on March 29, some of the most influential Brexit-supporting rebels, such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, have reluctantly fallen in behind May’s deal.
