######################################################### Governemt Brexit - Done ##########################################
<div class="deets" id="BrexitDeald">
<p> All of these votes directly relate in some manner to the Brexit Deal which was negotiated by Theresa May and the European Union. These votes are either votes on that deal or as in the case of the Brady Amendment and others it is a demonstration of support for her deal.</p>
</div>
<div class="deets" id="MV1d">
<p>This vote was originally scheduled for the 11th December but was rescheduled for the 15th January when it became clear it wouldn't past. It represented the first attempt by Theresa May to pass her deal.The 230-vote margin of defeat was the worst for any government in modern Parliamentary history. (15 January 2019)</p>
</div>
<div class="deets" id="BradyAmendmentd">
<p>The Brady amendment was an amendment to the "motion in neutral terms". It called on the Government to re-negotiate over the Northern Ireland backstop but indicated that those who voted in favour would be willing to support May's deal if the backstop was renegotiated. It was supported by the Conservatives and the DUP. (29 Janaury 2019)</p>
</div>
<div class="deets" id ="SupportforBrexitDeald">
<p>This was a vote on an amendable motion that stated: "That this House ... reiterates its support for the approach to leaving the EU expressed by this House on 29 January 2019 and notes that discussions between the UK and the EU on the Northern Ireland backstop are ongoing." The motion was defeated as members of the ERG objected that the motion appeared to rule out no deal. (14 February) </p>
</div>
<div class="deets" id="MV2d">
<p> This was the second attempt by Theresa May to pass her deal. (12 March 2019) </p>
</div>
<div class="deets" id="MV3d">
<p> This was the third and final attempt by Theresa May to pass her deal. In order for the legislation to be called to vote for a third time the Political Declaration accompanying the Withdrawal Agreement was seperated. (29th March 2019) </p>
</div>
<div class="deets" id ="BorisBilld">
<p>
On 21 October, the government under Boris Johnson published the Withdrawal Agreement Bill. The government brought the recently revised EU Withdrawal Bill to the House of Commons for debate on the evening of 22 October 2019.
</p>
</div>
<div class="deets" id="ExpeditedBrexitTimetabled">
<p>
On 21 October, the government published the Withdrawal Agreement Bill and proposed three days of debate. MPs voted on the the timetable for debating the Bill, which was defeated. Prior to the votes, Johnson had stated that if his timetable failed to generate the support needed to pass in parliament he would abandon attempts to get the deal approved and would seek a general election.
</p>
</div>
####################################################### No Deal ##############################################################
<div class="deets" id="NoDeald">
<p> All of these votes directly relate to No Deal options that were presented as well as in the case of the short extension amendment to the Cooper-Letwin bill, a vote which could have made No Deal far more likely.</p>
</div>
<div class="deets" id="AgainstLordsAmendmentd">
<p>This amendment, tabled by David Davis, sought to reject Lords Amendment 19 which would give more power to parlaiment in the event of a rejection of the Brexit Deal. (12 June 2018) </p>

</div>
<div class="deets" id="ShortextensionCooper-Letwind">
<p>This amendment tabled by George Eustice would have stripped sections (6) and (7) from clause 1 of the Cooper-Letwin bill . Section (6) and (7) effectively state that an extension would be accepted as long as it did not end earlier than 22nd May 2019. Eustice's amendment sought to remove that precondition on the basis that it would allow the government to request a long extension without any ability for parlaiment to stop it. (3 April 2019) </p>

<div class="deets" id="GrieveAvoidNoDeald">
<p> After the Lords Amendment failed, Lord Hailsham retabled Grieve's amendment under his own name and it passed the Lords by 354 votes to 234. Grieve's amendment tackled the 'no deal' scenario and it set dates for May to come back to parliament and set out the government's intentions in the event of a 'no deal', and gain parliamentary approval for those plans.

<p>The Beckett amendment would have required Parliament to vote favourably for a "no deal" Brexit or request an extension to Article 50 if the government was within seven days of leaving the European Union without a deal.
