The U.K. Parliament is set to extend the Brexit deadline once again, in defiance of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, throwing the government’s plans into chaos and increasing the likelihood of a general election.
The U.K. Parliament is set to extend the Brexit deadline once again in defiance of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, throwing the government’s plans into chaos and increasing the likelihood of a general election.
The government’s loss of the crucial vote, dubbed a"showdown" by the British media, is a major blow to the Johnson government’s plans of leaving the European Union by the end of October. "I don't doubt Boris wants to get a deal, but I do not believe he has the means to will the end," he said."His demands are unreal and I cannot condone 'no deal.'"
Addressing Parliament before the vote, Johnson described the law being put forward as a"white flag," that would generate more"pointless delay." Under that schedule, the newly elected government would have less than three weeks to determine the way out of the Brexit conundrum that has dominated British politics for the past three years. It is unclear what impact a general election will have on Parliament’s vote to once again extend the Brexit deadline.
