LONDON - Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage on Thursday rejected demands to further help British Prime Minister Boris Johnson by pulling out of contests with the opposition Labour Party, saying his aim was to win enough parliamentary seats to hold Johnson to account.
The Dec. 12 election will define the fate of Brexit: Johnson says he will get Brexit done by the end of January if he wins while Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has promised to renegotiate the current exit deal and then hold another referendum. In the most significant move of the election to date, Farage on Monday agreed to stand down 317 Brexit Party candidates in Conservative-held seats, a step that could pave the way for a majority in parliament for the Brexit deal Johnson negotiated.
“What we now have to do is to hold Boris to account to make sure we get a proper Brexit and that is my job,” Farage said. “The Conservatives want a Conservative majority in parliament, not a Brexit majority in parliament.”
