British snap election possible as MPs prepare to block no-deal Brexit
Developing: Britain’s Parliament is poised to block Prime Minister Boris Johnson from pulling the country out of the European Union on Oct. 31 without an agreement, setting the stage for what could lead to a snap election.
An alliance of opposition MPs and some Conservatives are aiming to prevent a no-deal Brexit with a vote tonight on legislation that would force the government to request a three-month extension to the deadline if there was no agreement with the EU by Oct. 19. If the motion passes, the Prime Minister’s office says he’ll call an early election for Oct. 14.
