UK: Morgan Stanley on what's next for Brexit: "The vote was 432-202, a
government defeat by 230 votes, which was worse than expectations. The Labour
party has tabled a motion of no confidence to be debated tomorrow, but we expect
the government to survive for now. We expect PM May will seek further
concessions from the EU, and then see a run-off between the government's deal
and alternatives, in particular a second referendum. We see a low risk of a no
deal outcome (5%), given the opposition of parliament. But we have little
conviction on which of the alternative options - referendum, the current deal or
early elections - will be chosen. We expect greater clarity by early February,
before parliament runs out of time to hold elections before Brexit, assuming
that the EU will only agree to a delay once the UK has made a decision on the
way forward."
