MPs have taken the unprecedented step of taking control of the Brexit process and launched a series of indicative votes on alternative strategies after the government suffered a 311 -302 vote defeat. Prime Minister Theresa May offered the MPs votes on her own series of alternatives, but the majority of them backed an amendment by Conservative Sir Brexit to give MPs a bigger input. They could then vote on alternatives including a softer Brexit , a customs union or another referendum. The deal has already been rejected twice by a large margin - and the PM was forced to ask the EU for Brexit to be delayed. Brexit was also expected to postpone Parliament from 29 March to 29 March .
