London-Sana
LONDON (Reuters) - Political disputes are mounting in Britain as Prime Minister Boris Johnson insists on leaving London from the European Union on March 31 and calls for early legislative elections despite British lawmakers approving a bill that would force him to postpone the exit date.
"We have to get out of the European Union on October 31, the deadline for Brexit," Johnson was quoted by AFP as saying in an interview with Yorkshire police. Reach a deal out.
Johnson is betting on a general election that could give him the majority he lost in the House of Commons.
The British government will submit a memorandum on the holding of these elections to be voted on by the House of Commons next Monday before the suspension of its work and must be approved by two-thirds of the votes for approval, a second attempt for Johnson to run early elections after deputies rejected last Wednesday a government memorandum to hold elections in mid-October.
"The problem is that we have no confidence at all that Boris Johnson respects a commitment or an agreement we can reach," John McDonnell, one of the party's leading figures, told the BBC.
