THE OVERWHELMING vote by the British Parliament on Tuesday against the painstakingly negotiated accord on the country’s departure from the European Union was all the more devastating because no one — not Prime Minister Theresa May, and certainly not her opponents — has anything with which to replace it. There is, for the moment, no plan or solution that has the support of a parliamentary majority, and E.U. leaders insist they will not accept substantial modifications to the rejected deal.
Brexit has gridlocked the British political system. That means the worst possible option for the country — a crash out of the E.U. without mechanisms for managing it — could happen on March 29. Both Ms. May and her parliamentary opponents must now make it their overriding priority to avoid that disastrous outcome.
Ms. May worked assiduously over 2½ years to square the vision British voters narrowly supported in June 2016 — that the country would regain full sovereignty from the E.U. — with the reality, still unacknowledged by many supporters, that any divorce would involve major economic and political costs.
The deal she eventually struck would allow for a transition period during which Britain and the E.U. would negotiate the details of their future trade relationship, while providing that London would regain control over the movement of people across its borders.

The price of Yellow Vest stock just jumped.
