LONDON - British opposition parties said on Friday that they would block Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s second bid to call a snap general election in mid-October, setting up showdown with the government over delaying Brexit.
British lawmakers are due on Monday to hold another vote on a motion on whether to hold an early election, probably in mid-October, just over two weeks before the United Kingdom is due to leave the EU on Oct. 31. “We will have that election when the time is right but I will make you this promise, we are not going to have a long wait,” Ian Blackford told BBC television, adding that his opposition Scottish National Party party would oppose Johnson’s bid on Monday.
England’s High Court on Friday rejected a legal challenge against Johnson’s suspension of parliament before Brexit but said it could be taken to the Supreme Court for a final appeal.
