INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Anti-Brexit protesters waves EU and Union flags opposite the Houses of Parliament in London (Reuters)
The Scottish parliament voted on Tuesday to refuse consent to Britain's flagship
Brexit legislation, increasing constitutional uncertainty over how the exit from the European Union will proceed.The Edinburgh assembly
voted by 93 votes to 30 to deny consent for the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, which is currently going through the national parliament
in London and is supposed to provide clarity on the legal position as Britain severs ties with the bloc.Although the Scottish parliament has
no veto over the bill, the refusal to give consent sets up an unprecedented constitutional clash between Edinburgh and London, complicating
British Prime Minister Theresa May's plans for Brexit.© Thomson Reuters 2018(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by
