Brexit vote: What just happened and what comes next?

With only approximately two more months before a default no-deal "hard Brexit," the British Parliament has decisively rejected Prime Minister May's proposed plan for leaving the European Union.

There is a no confidence vote in works which, if successful, will dissolve the government and force another general election.

    To command a majority Farage would have to get elected. He tried. 7 times. He lost every time. One time he lost to a man dressed as a dolphin.

    Despite what Fox News may suggest, he's a nobody electorally, however the potential threat of his party (they got 1 in 8 votes in 2015) caused both Tory and Labour to lurch to extremism
