So she survives - a much better outcome than a failed government at this close to the Brexit deadline.
This is also a nice contrast to Thatcher's leadership challenge, which she also won with a similar result (204 vs 152 plus abstentions) and yet it wasn't enough to save her seat. So I think it's smart of May to quit before the next election. She wouldn't survive it.
Voting out the leader just because she obtained the only practical deal for Brexit would have been a classic case of shooting the messenger. At least they avoided that particular stupidity.

Still deadlocked everywhere though. EU won't renegotiate, deal won't pass parliament in it's current form, time ticking away to a no deal situation which will damage the country long term.
