[London, 2nd Reuters]-If the British Parliament stops the UK's "no agreement" withdrawal from the European Union (EU), the observation that Prime Minister Johnson will step into the general election is growing.
Prime Minister Johnson convened a cabinet meeting on the 2nd. According to the BBC, there is a “lively debate” on whether to ask Congress to hold a general election.
The popular newspaper Sun also reported that Prime Minister Johnson is planning to hold a general election before October 31 of the withdrawal date if the parliament blocks the EU's exit plan. There is a possibility that the general election will be announced as early as 4 days before the EU Summit starting on October 17.
The parliament will reopen after a summer holiday, but the opposition / labor party and the ruling / conservative party's protesters will join hands to pass a bill that will prevent dismissal without agreement.
According to senior officials of the Conservative Party's in-house secretariat, the prosecutors will be dismissed or banned from the Conservative Party in the next election. [nL3N25T29Z]
The Labor leader, Corbin, said that he would “seek for a general election” and would rule out Prime Minister Johnson ’s “false populist”. “We need to be united to prevent uninformed withdrawal, and this week may be the last chance,” he said.
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair warned that Johnson would avoid the “big trap” that the Labor Party had set up. “Johnson understands that a dismissal without a consensus can only fail, but combining the general elections can win, because there are concerns that Corbin will be prime minister. "
A spokesman for the prime minister said in response to a reporter's question that he was planning a general election, “as the prime minister has said, he does not want a general election.”
According to Radbrokes, a British bookmaker (betting shop), the probability that a general election will be held within the year is factored in as 75%, and the most viewed in October.
In the case of a general election (1) The Johnson government supporting the withdrawal from the EU wins. (2) The Labor Party headed by the Corbin party wins. A scenario is considered. [nL3N25T29Z]
