Former Brexit date arrives with no answer in sight

In the eyes of Brexit supporters, Friday, March 29, was supposed to be Independence Day. Even the United Kingdom's Royal Mint had unveiled the design for commemorative coins.

Instead, the country approached the day with its political leaders more divided over the issue than ever.

On Wednesday, eight different Brexit solutions were put to members of Parliament to vote on. These would not have been binding but would help narrow options and provide some clarity in an increasingly confused debate.
