The British Parliament will vote tonight for the future of the United Kingdom.
Update: British Prime Minister Theresa May launched an appeal Tuesday to British MPs to "respect" the outcome of the Brexit referendum and vote in favor of the exit agreement that concluded with Brussels, AFP and the Reuters report.
"We have a duty to respect a democratic decision," said Theresa May, in a full House of Commons, just minutes before the vote announcing a failure for the prime minister, due to the opposition of Europhiles and Brexit supporters acquis.
He said that a vote against the agreement is a vote for uncertainty, division and the risk of leaving the EU without any understanding.
The initial news
The vote of the British parliament on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union will take place Tuesday evening at 20:00 GMT (22.00 GMT), and the result of the vote will be made public after 15 minutes, reports Reuters.
Chamber clerk John Bercow said he had tentatively chosen four amendments to the legislation to be submitted to the parliamentary vote before the vote on the withdrawal agreement.
Each vote would take about 15 minutes, so if all four amendments are put to the vote, it will take about 60 minutes from the start of the voting session, which starts at 19:00 local time (19:00 GMT).

What will happen if the agreement is rejected
John Bercow could also choose other amendments before the Chamber's voting session, Reuters notes.
The British Parliament had three days of debates in this file in December, before the vote was postponed to January. The parliamentary debate resumes on 9 January and ends at 19:00 GMT on Tuesday.
If Theresa May loses her vote, Parliament asks her to return in three working days with a motion that includes the next steps, by Monday 21 January at the latest.
The London government had previously stated that if the agreement was rejected, the UK will leave the EU without an agreement on March 29, 2019. Some MPs have advanced the idea that the parliament could take over from the government control of the exit process of the EU country and hand it over to a group of expert legislators across the political spectrum.
