London: British lawmakers have voted on eight different possible Brexit options, but none received the majority support that would clarify the UK's course.

Parliaments against 8 indicatives votes on Brexit

Parliament is trying to find an alternative to Prime Minister Theresa May's twice-rejected EU divorce deal.

Lawmakers voted Wednesday on options that included leaving the European Union without a deal, staying in the bloc's customs union and single market, putting any EU divorce deal to a public referendum, and canceling Brexit if the prospect of a no-deal departure gets close.

The strongest support was for a plan to stay in a customs union with the bloc after Brexit, which was defeated by eight votes: 272-264.

Lawmakers plan to narrow the list of options down and hold more votes on Monday.
