UK govt to table 3rd motion calling for general election – reports
Westminster is rife with rumors that the British government plans to table a fresh motion calling for a general election this Monday, according to multiple reports.
Boris Johnson has previously attempted to call an election on two occasions, but failed to get the motion passed each time. The prime minister will need to win the backing of two-thirds of MPs to get the motion through Parliament.
