LONDON - Britain's Liberal Democrat party said on Monday it would submit a parliamentary motion of no confidence in Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government to force a June general election following heavy losses for the ruling Conservatives in local elections.
However, a no confidence motion will likely face defeat even if it is allowed to be voted on as the Conservatives still have a majority of seats in parliament's elected lower house. The government is not expected to provide parliamentary time to debate confidence motions if they are brought forward by opposition parties other than the official opposition, which is currently Labour.
