CAIRO, Jan.15 (SEE)- The British Parliament cancelled Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit exit deal by a crushing margin on Tuesday, triggering political chaos that could lead to a disorderly exit from the EU or even to a reversal of the 2016 decision to leave.

After parliament members voted 432-202 against her deal, opposition Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn promptly called a vote of no confidence in May's government, to be held on Wednesday.

Moments after the result was announced, May told Parliament "It is clear that the House does not support this deal, but tonight's vote tells us nothing about what it does support,"." nothing about how - or even if - it intends to honour the decision the British people took in a referendum parliament decided to hold."

As we head to March 29, the date set in law for Brexit, the United Kingdom is now ensnared in the deepest political crisis in half a century as it grapples with how, or even whether, to exit the European project that it joined in 1973.
