LONDON—British lawmakers have opened up the road that could lead back to EU membership, wrenching the Brexit steering wheel from Theresa May’s government in a dramatic parliamentary vote.

May had given British parliamentarians only two options on Brexit: Vote for the deal she has negotiated with the EU, or reject it, condemning the UK to leave the 27-member trading bloc on March 29, 2019, with no deal.
