UK leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg said that the government is going to hold another vote on Monday, to push for early election. The vote to hold an election on October ended with 298 to 44, way short of the 430-plus threshold as Labour and some other opposition abstained.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is still aiming at a general election before EU summit on October 17. It’s clear that he need support from Labour. But the latter has indicated that it would support support an early election until legislation which aims to block a no-deal exit at the end of October has become law.
The bill to block no-deal Brexit was passed in Commons yesterday Conservative Party members of the Lords originally tabled a series of time wasting amendments to delay the bill. But earlier today, the government announced it was dropping its opposition to the legislation.
