LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to clash with lawmakers in parliament this week over his plans to take Britain out of the European Union with or without an exit deal, a showdown that could see Brexit delayed and the government toppled.
That has raised the chances of an early parliamentary election, before the next scheduled vote in 2022.If Johnson decides parliament is intent on thwarting his plan to deliver Brexit on Oct. 31, he could try to call an election, seeking a majority that would allow him to push his plans through. The opposition Labour Party has long called for an election, so there should be enough votes to support holding one, although Tony Blair, a former Labour prime minister, has warned it would be an “elephant trap” for the party that it should avoid.The law states there must be 25 working days between an election being formally called and polling day, which is traditionally a Thursday. Therefore an Oct. 17 election is possible if the steps have been taken by the end of Sept. 12.
