The U.K. opposition Labour Party will try once again to seize control of the parliamentary agenda Wednesday, part of an effort to stop the next prime minister from taking the country out of the EU without a deal.
The 10 candidates to replace Theresa May as prime minister are arguing about how best to deliver Brexit. Several insist the U.K. should leave by Oct. 31 with or without a deal, and one has floated the idea of stopping Parliament from sitting so that members wouldn't be able to block this. Others are arguing that Parliament doesn't have the power to force a prime minister to change course.
If Labour wins the vote Wednesday afternoon, at least an hour will be set aside on June 25 for further debate on a motion to be selected by House of Commons Speaker John Bercow, who has repeatedly worked with MPs trying to soften Brexit. As with similar moves at the start of the year, that could be used to set in train a process that takes control of the agenda from the government.
