Worldview will give you a peak into democracy—British style. Today, we bring you some of the hits from this morning’s “Prime Minister’s Questions.” Theresa May was handed her worst political defeat Tuesday night, as the U.K. House of Commons overwhelmingly voted down her plan for the U.K. to officially leave the European Union (Brexit) on March 29.
