As more and more people are realising it's not because this cannot be resolved it's because senior figures in the EU want a punishment based deal to try and scare anyone else from leaving the EU in the future.
I guess you are referred no to the debate on the guidelines for future EU/UK relations on the 13th and 14th March. The advisory resolution was passed 511 votes to 110 with 51 abstentions. I will try and get a breakdown of who vote for what a bit later but here’s the document - https://g8fip1kplyr33r3krz5b97d1-wpe...idelines-1.pdf and here’s the voting result - http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/...EN&language=EN

Ok, found it. You may need to register - http://www.votewatch.eu/en/term8-gui...te-tabs-list-4

UK MEPs voted 8 for and 38 against. For other countries, France voted 46 for and 22 against and Denmark voted 7 for and 5 against. Those were the close ones.
