The vote in Britain’s parliament on Wednesday closed the door for good on any chance of the country staying in the European Union, Trade Minister Liam Fox told a debate in Geneva on Thursday.

Brexit is the  withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.

According to European Truth, “As many of you will know, we took the decisive step last night in legislation that will now pave the way irrevocably for Britain’s exit from the European Union,” Fox said. “Britain’s chances of continuing membership in the European Union are now zero.”

The government bill on the terms of the UK’s exit from the EU was supported by the parliament despite the opposition of some of the deputies of the leading Conservative party.

British Prime Minister Teresa May named the adoption of the bill “the most important step” in securing a “smooth” exit.
