>>> <<< UPDATE
Update 8:16:
The leader of the SPD parties and factions, Andrea Nahles, has warned of serious consequences for workers in an uncontrolled area leaving Britain from the European Union. On both sides, especially in the UK, but also partly in this country, there could be "serious jokes" for the workers, Nahles said on Thursday in the ZDF "Morgenmagazin". "We have a very intertwined economy".
Now it is the responsibility of the British government that there is no disordered and chaotic Brexit, Nahles said. He described the agreement negotiated by the EU with British Prime Minister Theresa May as a good basis. He does not see much room for negotiations anymore. "Personally, I would be pleased if you could get to a second referendum, but even at European or German level we do not have this in our hands," says Nahles.
After the vote on the Brexit: device of the Bundestag now in difficulty?
Update 7:37:
With the failed Brexit vote in Britain, the Bundestag gets after the FDP evaluation in time difficulties. "The point now is to keep the damage to Germany as low as possible, threatening the harsh Brexit," said the first parliamentary director of the FDP group, Marco Buschmann, the German news agency. "This requires a lot of legislative adjustments, given the short time it could probably make mistakes.
The vote in the British House of Commons was expected, Bushman said. "The task of German politics should have been last year to prepare for this scenario." However, the federal government has not provided sufficient provisions for a Brexit without an agreement. The Bundestag now has less time for deliberations. "This damages the legitimacy and transparency of the results and the federal government should have already started the preparations last year and had to include the Bundestag in these preparations".
The Bundestag treats the Brexit transition law
Update 6:48: The Bundestag is taking care of Thursday with a planned exit from the UK of Great Britain. The deputies received a draft of the federal government for a transitional law on Brexit. This concerns the regulations for a transitional period after the withdrawal scheduled for the end of March. The Brexit agreement, which was rejected by a large majority on Tuesday evening in the British House of Commons in London, provides for a transition period until at least 2020.
Katarina Barley, the best candidate in the European elections of SPD, sees growing opportunities for a second referendum on the exit of Great Britain from the European Union, given the very bad situation in London. "My impression is that this possibility has become more likely than it was a few weeks ago," said the Federal Minister of Justice on Wednesday evening in Berlin. "It depends a bit on how public pressure could unfold."
After the vote on Brexit and the vote of no confidence: May holds the first talks
Update, January 17, 6:30 pm:
British Prime Minister Theresa May led the evening of the vote to the detriment of the first talks with the opposition politician on the further Brexit procedure. The conservative politician met the presidents of the pro-European liberal democrats, the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Welsh party Plaid Cymru in London on Wednesday evening.
"It's time to put aside our private interests," May said before his Downing Street office. She was "disappointed" by the fact that Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn initially refused to meet. The Prime Minister stressed: "Our door remains open".
In his words, Corbyn does not want to talk with May until the prime minister has excluded "the catastrophic perspective of a Brexit without an agreement with the EU once and for all".
Theresa May: declaration after the no confidence vote
23:04: May arrived before the press. The British prime minister acknowledged that the agreement negotiated with the EU had failed. The surviving vote of distrust means for them, but now that they have to "deliver the Brexit now" and then implement the result of the referendum.
May called on all parties to put aside individual interests and to discuss Brexit together. From tomorrow, he will hold talks with ministers and representatives of other parties.
She was "disappointed" by Jeremy Corbyn, the Labor Party leader. So far, he has not responded to their invitation to participate in the talks. May stressed that the country had approved a Brexit referendum and then promised both parties to implement it.
Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn, however, denied discussions with May on condition that May does not rule out a disorderly Brexit.

In the beginning, the spokesperson could not comment on the contents of the declaration.
20:28: Opposition leader, Corbyn, could now be pressured. A large group of Labor MPs want to support the request for a second Brexit referendum. Corbyn had announced that he would consider this option if a new election proved to be impossible. A successful mistrust vote is the only viable way for Corbyn to do so, but it seems to be out of place. But it can not be excluded that Corbyn is planning a second attempt. The British had voted for the exit of the EU by a small majority in a referendum in June 2016.

20:26: Today's vote shows that Theresa May has all the members of her own party behind her.

In principle, however, the committee now sees four options on how to proceed:
- A new vote in the lower house on the previous contract. The Committee underlines that it would probably be rejected again without changes.
- Leave the EU on March 29 without an agreement.
- Renegotiation of Brexit with the EU.
- A second Brexit referendum.
17:41: Before the vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Theresa May in the evening, the Labor opposition is clearly positioned: its goal is the general elections.

In Finland you need to register at the immigration office if you are in the country for more than three months, regardless of where you are from.

"Prime Minister zombi", "the breath of a musty sports sock" was under.
Michael Deacon of the Daily Telegraph wrote that the May vote for parliamentary approval shortly before the crucial Brexit vote had the "vivacity of a musty sporting sock". "He seemed convincing as a mother barking at her children, eating their cabbage or going to bed hungry," says the article.
"Zombie Cabinet and Zombie Opposition"
The "Times" columnist Matthew Parris also harshly criticized the government: "Parliament must take control of a zombie prime minister, a zombie cabinet and a zombie opposition".

10.34 clockThe rejection of the Treaty on Brexit with the EU by the British Parliament is, according to the economist Dennis Snower, a tragic decision. This would make it highly probable an unregulated EU exit, said Kiel Institute President for the World Economy (IfW) on Wednesday. "A" no deal "does not mean just a duty-free trade, but it is likely to temporarily interrupt trade between the EU and the UK."

"Game time is over now," the SPD politician said Wednesday on Deutschlandfunk. What Members really want was not clear in the vote. Instead, it was only clear what they did not want.
09:20: The European Union continues to hope for a friendly break with the United Kingdom, despite the British refusal to sign the Treaty on Brexit. "An orderly exit will remain our top priority in the coming weeks," said European chief negotiator Michel Barnier at the European Parliament on Wednesday. However, the danger of a Brexit without a contract is greater than ever. The next decisions would be in the UK alone.
The vote of the British House of Commons against over 18 months with the Brexit Treaty negotiated by the EU was very clear, said Barnier, but said: "At the moment it is too early to evaluate all the consequences of this vote." For opponents of the pact there are very different motivations.
8.45 clockEven the British ambassador Sebastian Wood does not anticipate the failure of the Brexit agreement on the fact that there will be another referendum in the UK outgoing from the EU. "At the moment I do not see the majority in parliament for a second referendum," Wood said Wednesday in the ZDF "Morgenmagazin". Furthermore, surveys showed that there was no mood change in the British population. "The will of Parliament remains to carry out the Brexit". After the rejection of Prime Minister Theresa May's treaty with the EU, we needed to remain calm and continue working on it.
Wood expects May to pass the vote of no confidence in the House of Commons at the request of Labor opposition this Wednesday night, because the conservatives in the government did not want new elections. So the Prime Minister will continue to fight for a regulated Brexit. "The strongest card in hand remains that no one has a proposal that has a better chance of obtaining a majority."
8.35: Federal Minister of Economics Peter Altmaier has warned of the consequences of an unregulated withdrawal of the British from the EU. "It would lose everything in Europe," the CDU politician said Wednesday in the "morning" of the ZDF. Above all, the British would suffer from an unregulated EU exit. This would have serious consequences for wealth and employment. However, this would not go without a trace of the European Union.
At the same time, Altmaier woke up for serenity. "I think we should give the British the opportunity to clarify their position." In his view, there is no majority in the British parliament for an unregulated exit. He clarified that the agreement of Prime Minister Theresa May with the EU was "substantially non-negotiable". However, if the British government were proposing something new, it would be necessary to talk about "what it means for us in the EU".

Heiko Maas on the Brexit vote: the United Kingdom now "on the ball"
08:23: Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) calls for clarity from Britain. The country is now "on the train", Maas told Wednesday on Deutschlandfunk. The members of the lower house did not make clear what they wanted: only what they did not want. "It's not enough", said the foreign minister.
First of all, the outcome of the vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Theresa May will have to be expected Wednesday evening, as well as her new proposal for parliament. A fall in May would complicate the situation, Maas said. The negotiations need a stable government in London.
A postponement of the exit of the EU of the British, scheduled for the end of March, judges the Maas difficult, also in view of the upcoming European elections in May. Also, he needed a clear line from London for a postponement: "This only makes sense if there is a way to reach an agreement between the EU and the UK, but at the moment it is not a majority opinion. in the United Kingdom Parliament ".

Clock 06.50: May shows herself strong in the fight: even if she went swimming without mercy with her vote and now faces a vote of no confidence, but her speech after the result shows that she still does not want to give up. "The house has spoken and the government will follow the example." It is obvious that the house does not want to support the agreement, but today's vote does not tell us what the house really means, "says May. Things that are going on seem to be uncertain.
Many British media like this "Times" or "Telegraph" see the problem with May itself "Telegraph" writes that May was too friendly with the EU and was more likely to break with it to advance the country, while the"Times" It also requires that the May compromise and action that was not ready to take before. "This includes preparing for a permanent customs union or a call to voters to support the EU in a second referendum – no matter how unattractive it may seem at the moment." Now it seems almost inevitable that you ask for a postponement for Brexit beyond March, "the newspaper writes. And also the "Independent" sees the only way out in a new referendum.
The President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker believes that the uncontrolled Brexit is not unlikely and therefore asks London to clearly and intentionally formulate its intentions. After all, on March 29, the scheduled withdrawal date would soon arrive.

This would increase the risk of a UK exit from the EU without a contract, added Tusks spokesman. "We do not want this to happen, but we will be prepared to do it". The EU will continue to be closed and to act responsibly. It will continue to ratify the exit agreement despite the rejection of the British House of Commons.
If an agreement is impossible and nobody wants an agreement, who will finally have the courage to say what is the only positive solution?

20:55: The debate in the lower house continues. In the meantime, there are some urgent questions: first, if Theresa May will survive Wednesday's vote of no confidence – and especially if a disorderly Brexit is still avoided. A perspective on possible further developments can be found in this article.
Brexit vote in the House of Commons: Corbyn launches a no confidence motion in May – probably Wednesday's decision

20.45 clock: Corbyn also arrives at the word. May refused to engage in dialogue, he exclaims. "He can not believe that, after two years of failure, he will negotiate a good deal for our people," he underlines. It is important to clarify whether the administration of May still has Parliament's confidence – filed a motion of no confidence, proclaims Corbyn.
20.40 clock: "Obviously this was a refusal, but that does not say anything beyond what actually supports the lower room," May says in her first reaction. We need to think of solutions that seem "able to negotiate" and find approval in parliament, underlines May – which seems well conceived. Their government wanted to stick to the Brexit. The government wants to discuss a vote of no confidence tomorrow, he said, referring to a threat from Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Vote on Brexit in the lower house: the result is here – May loses
20:39: Theresa May lost the vote. There are 202 votes against 432 no.
20:36: The announcement of the result should be imminent.
20:31: After the vote in the Hammersprung procedure, the room fills up again. A result has not yet been announced.
20:23: The potentially explosive amendment by John Baron has been rejected. 600 of the 650 members of the lower house voted "no", only 24 with "yes". This is what John Bercow has just announced. Members are now moving towards the long-awaited (senior) vote on the Brexit affair.
20:17: Now that three of the four amendments have been withdrawn, a vote on the Theresa May project is awaited. According to a report by Standard of the evening it could be at 20:30 clock German time so far.
Vote on Brexit in the lower house: three out of four amendments withdrawn
20:13: The House of Commons has now withdrawn three out of four amendments to the United Kingdom Government's motion for a resolution on the Brexit agreement. Only the request of the conservative John Baron, who is a clear supporter of a British exit from the European Union, must be voted. In application, it requires a non-participation clause from the contested guarantee for an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as enshrined in the Brexit agreement. If the proposal unexpectedly finds a majority, Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit agreement in its current form would be a waste.

– Work amendment: The Labor party's amendment rejects the May Brexit agreement and also a withdrawal without agreement. Instead, he calls for a closer connection with the EU.
– SNP amendment: The Scottish National Party and the Welsh Plaid Cymru also want to reject the agreement directly with their amendment and request the postponement of Brexit.
– Leigh-amendment: The hardliners Brexit Edward Leigh wants to assert a unilateral right of termination for London from the withdrawal agreement.
– Baron-amendment: John Baron, also a Tory brexiter, calls for an opt-out clause from the controversial guarantee of an open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as enshrined in the Brexit agreement.

Then you have to look carefully, how many votes are missed and where you can still bid in London to avoid a messy Brexit at the end. It was important to find a solution through diplomatic channels.
"My impression is that it will not go completely without a German initiative," Dobrindt continued. There was a "very clear attitude of Brussels", which also wanted to keep the English mistake of this decision. "But we are a community … composed of states, and so it must also be possible to try not only to leave the contact and the thread of the conversation (in a crisis situation) … to the official channels, but there must be further efforts ", said Dobrindt, without providing details to do.
