Does the Brexit deal being voted down imply that Brexit is not going to happen?
Just looking at the TV and I am seeing that the British Parliament rejected the Brexit deal (cannot find an online source yet for this, although multiple sources show this vote result as very plausible).
Does this mean that Brexit is not going to happen or is this only one of the possible scenarios in the near future?
An answer to this question is interesting especially when the UK can legally cancel the Brexit process.

I've voted to close this as off-topic because you're asking about the broad spectrum of future events that may fall out from the vote on the plan. There branch cases for what could now happen with brexit are multitudinous.

@DrunkCynic - I am asking if Parliament's decision involves (logically / legally) that Brexit is not going to happen or there are many other possibilities. Your comment suggests that the answer to my question is: no, this does not mean that Brexit process is automatically cancelled.

@DrunkCynic The core of the question is whether the Parliament vote concerns the terms of the deal or the Brexit itself, which makes it pretty narrow and definitely answerable.

Assuming a government can be formed after tomorrows' vote of no confidence or the the vote fails. Under the recent amendment controversially allowed by the speaker the prime minister will be required to go back to the house with a new plan or plans for consideration. with that said the PM may still try to continue with a version of the current arrangement.
The following options exist
- Brexit is delayed until a deal can be reached that parliament can agree on (or for as long as the EU will allow it if they will at all).
- No agreement will be reached and the UK will leave the EU on the 29th of march. Note this is currently the default position.
- Parliament will pass a bill to withdraw article 50 and the UK will reamain in the EU (IMO it seems like this might happen so that brexit can be retried with more proper understanding of what is possible etc)
- Parliament will eventually agree to the current deal (given the scale of the defeat this may be unlikely)
In order to reach one of the above there may well be a referendum either considering no deal brexit v the current deal or no deal brexit v the current deal v remain. There may also be a general election if the vote of no confidence is successful.

There is a fifth option that somehow a whole new withdrawal is negotiated before 11pm (UK time) on the 29th and voted through by parliament. This is almost certainly cloudcuckooland, but it might just be conceivable for a government of national unity with different red lines than Mrs May's administration.

@UKMonkey - If she prorogues parliament, all current business is ended. Since the default position is that the UK will be leaving at the end of March, no further 'blessing' is required of parliament. She won't be able to ram her deal through though, since that requires (multiple) votes in favour but she can stymie any attempts to block Brexit from happening. As I said though, it's unlikely in the extreme that she'd take this course of action.

The following options exist
- Brexit is delayed until a deal can be reached that parliament can agree on (or for as long as the EU will allow it if they will at all).
- No agreement will be reached and the UK will leave the EU on the 29th of march. Note this is currently the default position.
- Parliament will pass a bill to withdraw article 50 and the UK will reamain in the EU (IMO it seems like this might happen so that brexit can be retried with more proper understanding of what is possible etc)
- Parliament will eventually agree to the current deal (given the scale of the defeat this may be unlikely)
In order to reach one of the above there may well be a referendum either considering no deal brexit v the current deal or no deal brexit v the current deal v remain. There may also be a general election if the vote of no confidence is successful.

Assuming a government can be formed after tomorrows' vote of no confidence or the the vote fails. Under the recent amendment controversially allowed by the speaker the prime minister will be required to go back to the house with a new plan or plans for consideration. with that said the PM may still try to continue with a version of the current arrangement.

There is a fifth option that somehow a whole new withdrawal is negotiated before 11pm (UK time) on the 29th and voted through by parliament. This is almost certainly cloudcuckooland, but it might just be conceivable for a government of national unity with different red lines than Mrs May's administration.

@origimbo - Or Mrs May could simply prorogue (suspend) Parliament until March 30th, thus neatly dealing with any opposition. Unlikely to happen, but not beyond the realms of reality

@Valorum It's already been decided that and deal must have the blessing of Parliament; as per section 13. Suspending Parliament doesn't remove anything other than the possibility of a deal.

@UKMonkey - If she prorogues parliament, all current business is ended. Since the default position is that the UK will be leaving at the end of March, no further 'blessing' is required of parliament. She won't be able to ram her deal through though, since that requires (multiple) votes in favour but she can stymie any attempts to block Brexit from happening. As I said though, it's unlikely in the extreme that she'd take this course of action.

@Valorum reading up on it, May couldn't prorogue Parliament either; it requires the Queens doing.

I've voted to close this as off-topic because you're asking about the broad spectrum of future events that may fall out from the vote on the plan. There branch cases for what could now happen with brexit are multitudinous.

@DrunkCynic - I am asking if Parliament's decision involves (logically / legally) that Brexit is not going to happen or there are many other possibilities. Your comment suggests that the answer to my question is: no, this does not mean that Brexit process is automatically cancelled.

@DrunkCynic The core of the question is whether the Parliament vote concerns the terms of the deal or the Brexit itself, which makes it pretty narrow and definitely answerable.
