Boris Johnson vows to never delay Brexit and will try to call for a snap election. FMTNews
The British government has scheduled a vote on an election at 6pm on Wednesday.
An alliance of opposition lawmakers backed by 21 rebels from Johnson’s Conservative Party defeated the government on Tuesday on a motion allowing them to try to pass a law which would force a three-month extension to Britain’s EU exit date. “It’s obvious what he’s up to. He wants to intercept this bill having lost control of parliament and stop us finishing the task in hand.
“Base case is pre-Brexit election, but not necessarily before the 31st October,” US investment bank Citi said.An election would open up three main options: a Brexit-supporting government under Johnson, a Labour government led by veteran socialist Jeremy Corbyn or a hung parliament that could lead to a coalition or minority government of some kind.
