UK PM Theresa May warns pro-European members not to obstruct Brexit

British Prime Minister Theresa May has warned pro-European members of her Conservative party not to obstruct Brexit by seeking to amend a bill empowering her to begin the negotiations. MPs overwhelmingly backed the first stage last Wednesday of a bill to start Britain's withdrawal from the European Union.<br/><br/>However, the opposition lawmakers began debating amendments yesterday that could tie Prime Ministers' hands.
