(25 Nov 2018) British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sunday the UK Parliament will vote on the divorce deal with the European Union before Christmas. May said the signing-off on the agreement by the EU at a summit in Brussels marks the end of one phase and the start of a "crucial national debate" on Britain's future. May said she will fight "heart and soul" to get backing for the deal, which faces huge opposition among her Conservative lawmakers as well as the opposition. She added she is not sad about leaving the European Union even though she recognizes some Britons and some European leaders feel that way. She spoke after German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders expressed sadness about Britain's planned departure. May said Britain will continue to have warm, friendly relations with European countries after it leaves the EU bloc.
