Remember the 2017 general election? It resulted in a hung parliament which created another Brexit impasse. https://buff.ly/2BNTBl3

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
