LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson has repeatedly said he will take Britain out of the European Union on Oct. 31 with or without an exit deal. His opponents say they will try to stop a no-deal exit even if that means forcing an early election.
The stage is set for a showdown when parliament returns from its summer break on Sept. 3 with lawmakers who want to stop no deal threatening to bring the government down with a vote of no confidence.HOW CAN AN ELECTION BE CALLED? The House of Commons Library, the parliamentary authority on process and procedure, says election law “gives the prime minister broad legal discretion about when an early general election should take place”.Yes. British law states the country will cease to be a member of the European Union on Oct. 31, regardless of whether an exit deal has been agreed with the EU. It is within Johnson’s power to set a date in early November.
Dissolution does not have to happen immediately and the date for an election can be more than 25 days from dissolution.This sets out the fastest possible timeline for an election:Sept. 4 - No-confidence motion is voted upon, government loses.Sept. 19 - Government chooses election date.Oct. 25 - Earliest possible polling day if Johnson ignores convention that elections take place on a Thursday.
