UK lawmakers again reject PM Johnson's call for a snap election, extending Brexit chaos
Yuliya Talmazan, Patrick Smith and Tim Stelloh
Johnson blamed opposition lawmakers for delaying “Brexit yet again” and he promised that his government would “press on negotiating a deal while preparing to leave without one.” The suspension, he warned,"represents not just in the minds of many colleagues, but to huge numbers of people outside, an act of executive fiat."The last-ditch attempt to save him the embarrassment of asking Brussels for an extension to the process of leaving the European Union, Johnson wants voters to back his hard-line"do or die" stance on leaving under any circumstance on Oct. 31. If an extension is granted, it would be the third since the Brexit referendum in 2016.
Introducing the bill, Johnson accused the opposition Labour Party of"preposterous cowardice" for opposing an election.
