Alternative: Election and Johnson

alternative: Urging lawmakers to reject a proposal to take no-deal off the table, Johnson made it clear that he would prefer an election over another pointless Brexit delay, according to CNN. I don't want an election, you don't want an election, Johnson said -- with the unsaid implication that a new vote would be the only alternative. In a statement delivered outside Downing Street, Johnson said he would not ask Brussels for an extension to the Brexit process, even if Parliament forces him to. Government officials have been briefing October 14 as the date that Johnson may seek a new election for, according to multiple UK media reports. Under UK law, if Johnson wants to call an election, he must get the support of two-thirds of lawmakers in the House of Commons. It's a Monday, which would be another break with precedent, as British elections are typically held on a Thursday. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
