When is the parliamentary vote on Brexit?

But when is this set to take place? And what happens if it fails to pass?

When is the parliamentary vote on Brexit?

The short answer is – there is no firm date for when the vote on the deal will take place.

All we know is the Government had hoped it would be before the New Year.

The UK Cabinet has approved the deal – which was largely seen as allowing it to move on rather than any great vote of confidence or endorsement of it.

Because of the Cabinet's approval the EU is now planning a special summit in Brussels in late November where leaders will approve it.

After the summit, final versions of the withdrawal agreement will be presented to the UK Parliament.

When all the parliamentary debates and amendment suggestions are over, the meaningful vote will take place.

This will be the make-or-break point, and requires a majority of MP endorsement for it to proceed.

The UK is set to leave the EU on March 29, 2019, at 11am.

Many have cast this is the day of reckoning, when Britain faces the ultimatum of a new deal, or crashing out with a no-deal Brexit.

Is the draft deal likely to succeed?

The outlook doesn't look good.

Theresa May has already had two Ministers resign over the deal, and her own Brexit Secretary, Dominic Raab, also quit as the draft deal was presented to parliament.

Labour and factions within her own party have declared their intention to vote against it.

Then there is the prospect of a vote of no confidence in the PM, which would likely derail the whole process.

If the agreement is approved, what comes after that?

If Mrs May's withdrawal agreement makes it through the parliamentary vote, it becomes a bill, which means even more voting.

This is arguably even harder, because MPs will have all the details, and every element will be under scrutiny – and up for another vote.
