House of Commons rejects Boris Johnson’s calendar
With a total of 322 votes against and 308 in favor, the route proposed by the Prime Minister that linked to ventilate parliamentary procedures for Brexit was denied
The House of Commons rejected on Tuesday the calendar proposed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson for the parliamentary process of the Brexit agreement, which implies a delay of the deadlines that could exceed the deadline, October 31, leading to a chaotic break
The deputies denied the motion by 322 votes against and 308 in favor, a difference of 14, the ‘road map’ of the Government which involved airing parliamentary procedures on the Brexit agreement in three days, so that Thursday could get approved
The Labor and the Democratic Unionist Parties (DUP) of Northern Ireland had already advanced that they would vote against considering that this accelerated approval is an “abuse” of Westminster.
“Today, the House of Commons has refused to be pushed to discuss a hugely significant bill without time,” said Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Corbyn pointed to Johnson as “the author of his own misfortune” and offered to “work together to agree on a reasonable timetable. I suspect that the House of Commons will vote to debate it. That would be the sensible path”.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, urged Johnson to ask the EU for a new extension to prevent October 31 from arriving without an approved agreement. “Stop the risk policy calculated”.
