LONDON—Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain told lawmakers Wednesday that she would step down if Parliament approved her plan for withdrawal from the European Union. Others would see Britain leaving without any deal, require an exit agreement be confirmed in a referendum or cancel Brexit completely. Lawmakers have already twice rejected the Brexit agreement that May painstakingly negotiated with the EU, each time by large margins. Under the terms of the postponement, Brexit will take effect May 22 only if Parliament accepts May’s deal this week. If she managed that, she would almost certainly have quashed Parliament’s rebellion and ensured that Brexit would take place soon and on her terms.
