    This week marks a turning point for Britain and Brexit. No, really! We've heard this before, but now it looks to be real.

    That's because the British Parliament is scheduled for some crucial votes that will determine:

    • Whether the United Kingdom leaves the European Union with Prime Minister Theresa May's much-maligned withdrawal agreement.
    • Whether it rejects leaving the EU without a deal.
    • Or whether it votes to postpone Brexit.

    Britain is scheduled to leave the EU on March 29, with or without a deal, unless Parliament votes to postpone.
