LONDON: British Prime Minister Theresa May on Wednesday survived a no-confidence vote sparked by the crushing defeat of her Brexit deal just weeks before the UK leaves the European Union.A stunning 24-hour span saw May on Tuesday dealt the heaviest drubbing by parliament in modern British political history -- 432 votes to 202 -- over the divorce terms she reached with Brussels.She emerged victorious in parliament´s first no-confidence vote in a British government in 26 years on Wednesday by a 325-306 margin, a majority of 19.But it may have only been a pyrrhic victory for the hobbled but determined premier as she tries to steer the world´s fifth-biggest economy through its biggest crisis in a generation.
