The British Parliament voted on Wednesday to block Prime Minister Boris Johnson from taking Britain out of the European Union without a deal on Oct. 31, and rejected his first bid to call a snap election two weeks before the scheduled exit.
Meanwhile, the Labor Party leader said his party will only vote for a snap general election once Parliament has prevented a no-deal Brexit.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is still trying for an early election to unlock Britain’s political deadlock over Brexit.
