Brexit

@nytimesworld 4 years ago

British lawmakers are drawing the battle lines for their next big fight: whether, and when, to hold a general election. Boris Johnson wants it right away, but his opponents would like to draw it out, securing an extension to the Brexit deadline first https://nyti.ms/2zVJVUo

Boris Johnson wants an election before Britain leaves the E.U., rather than after, when the costs of a disorderly Brexit could be clearer. “What he doesn’t want is an election down the road when we’re all eating barbecued rat,” said a baroness. https://nyti.ms/2zTy1u9

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is threatening to purge lawmakers from his Conservative Party if they back a measure to forbid a no-deal Brexit. That could leave him powerless to control Parliament, necessitating a general election. https://nyti.ms/2zMxslO

"Boris Johnson is not even trying to run the country, or to negotiate or pass a Brexit deal. He is purely and simply running a campaign team for an early election from 10 Downing Street" https://buff.ly/31oTlDR

Defeat for Prime Minister Boris Johnson's party in a special election has cut his working majority in Parliament to one. It was also a success for an alliance of anti-Brexit parties. https://nyti.ms/2KcLZO0

With the possibility of a general election looming, a local Welsh vote is an early litmus test of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s tough line on Brexit https://on.wsj.com/2SXti3h

The Liberal Democrats, who want to stop Brexit, struck a “Remain alliance” for a special election in Wales. A win for them would further weaken Boris Johnson's fragile parliamentary majority. https://nyti.ms/2SZKQMm
