Britain’s Parliament votes, again, on Brexit blueprint. Would the outcome be any different this time?

STRASBOURG, FRANCE - MARCH 11: British Prime Minster Theresa May and President of European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker attend a press conference at the European Comission on March 11, 2019 in Strasbourg, France. The British Prime Minsister travelled to Strasbourg late on Monday evening saying she had secured "legally binding" changes to her Brexit deal meaning the EU "cannot try to trap the UK in the Irish backstop indefinitely". MPs in the U.K. are due to vote on her deal on Tuesday evening and the European Commission President has warned if the deal was voted down there would be "no third chance".

After a crushing defeat of British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit exit deal, lawmakers are set to vote a second time later today.

The House of Commons overwhelmingly rejected the deal in January, primarily because of concerns over arrangements for the Irish border. "Technical" talks aimed at securing concessions from the EU failed to secure a breakthrough over the weekend.

May flew to Strasbourg, France, late Monday for talks with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. At a news conference, they announced changes designed to overcome lawmakers' concerns about provisions designed to ensure the border between EU member Ireland and Britain's Northern Ireland remains open after Brexit.
