LONDON - Members of Parliament are preparing to vote on a number of alternatives to Theresa May's Brexit deal.
The House of Commons will on Wednesday evening hold a series of "indicative votes" as part of cross-party efforts to find a Brexit plan which a majority of MPs in Westminster can support.
The votes - secured by Conservative MP Oliver Letwin - will ask MPs to indicate whether they support or oppose a variety of alternatives to May's deal, including a "soft" exit, a new referendum, and scrapping Brexit altogether.
These votes, which are set to continue into next week, are taking place with the United Kingdom in the midst of a political crisis, after a huge majority of MPs twice rejected May's Brexit deal with the European Union.
The results are not legally-binding but could put huge political pressure on May to adopt a new Brexit plan.
May is under pressure to quit as prime minister and could announce details of her resignation at a meeting of Conservative MPs before the indicative votes take place.
