Brexit updates

Theresa May plans to delay Brexit if the Parliament fails to pass the revised Brexit deal; however, more than 100 Conservative MPs refused to back the PM on this delay. The Prime Minister never has her party's full support on Brexit since Day 1. The Labour Party's alternative Brexit plan was defeated by 323 votes to 240 on Wednesday; after the defeat, the Labour Party is now committed to backing a second Brexit referendum.
If there is a second Brexit referendum, the 'Stay' campaign I think is more likely to win the referendum than the 'Leave' campaign, given the current chaotic situation. However, many 'Leave' politicians will try their best to block this second Brexit referendum. Their political careers are depending of Brexit that their careers will end if Britain stays in the EU eventually. Furthermore, I do not believe that the Tory Party will support a second referendum in general. The last referendum was proposed by the Tory Party; once there is another referendum, it will prove the failure of the first one, so the Tory Party will not be pleased to see another referendum happening.
Overall, Brexit is now getting more dramatic, and the uncertainty surrounding this matter is increasing every day.
