British Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a no-confidence vote,.... triggered by members of her own Conservative party over her handling of Brexit.<br />Ro Aram has the latest. <br />Two-hundred votes were cast in favor of the prime minister, while 117 were against.<br />That still signals a bitter divide within the Conservative Party, as more than a third of Tories do not have faith in May.<br />But, she will remain the Tory leader, at least for now. <br />She's safe from another challenge from within her own party for the next year.<br />But ahead of the vote she said she will step down before the next parliamentary election due in 2022. <br />Speaking after the results, May said she would press on with the Brexit process.<br /><br />".....Whilst I'm grateful for that support a significant number of colleagues did cast a vote against me and I have listened to what they said. Following this ballot we now need to get on with the job of delivering Brexit for the British people and building a better future for this country...."<br /><br />The tough task of getting her Brexit deal passed through parliament still remains. <br />MPs have publicly said they will vote it down. <br />If the divorce agreement does not go through then it's all back to square one, with only a few months left until the UK is scheduled to leave the EU on March 29th.<br />There are suggestions of the possibility of a postponed Brexit or even a "no deal" scenario, though the majority of MPs do not wish for that to happen. <br />There have also been calls for another referendum on Brexit, but London has ruled that out. <br />Mrs. May will head back to Brussels on Thursday to try and get reassurances on the agreement, especially on the so-called "backstop" issue - the key sticking point in the tumultuous Brexit process.<br />Ro Aram, Arirang News. <br />
