British PM Theresa May gets closer to invoke Article 50

British Prime Minister Theresa May is getting closer to invoking Article 50 to trigger negotiations for Britain's exit from the European Union as the Brexit Bill comes for its final vote in the parliament later today.<br/><br/>If the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill passes through without any hiccups, Prime Minister May could trigger Article 50 as early as tomorrow. However, there will be some back and forth involved with the Bill today as MPs debate amendments made by the Lords and then return it to the Upper House for passage.<br/><br/>Once it is agreed, the bill will go for Royal Assent by Queen Elizabeth II, after which it becomes law.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, ahead of the Commons vote, the heads of 35 Oxford University colleges are pleading with MPs to allow European Union citizens the right to stay after Brexit.<br/><br/>May has committed to triggering Article 50 by the end of March and her time-frame hinges on today's developments in both Houses of Parliament.
