British PM Wins Confidence Vote
Theresa May promises to find a way forward on Brexit after gaining parliamentary support
The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has survived a vote of no confidence in her government. She's said she's now willing to meet with opposition parties to discuss a way forward on Brexit, but most have called on her to first rule out Britain leaving the EU without a deal. On Tuesday parliamentarians voted overwhelmingly against legislation which Mrs May had negotiated in order to leave the European Union.
