Jeremy Corbyn remains the main opposition of Boris Johnson and the main opponent of not only the "hard" Brexit but also the UK's exit from the European Union in general. His party members and allies from other parties support the idea of a second referendum, in which the British will again be allowed to make a choice: to stay in the EU, to leave the EU under a "hard" scenario or necessarily with a "deal". However, the second referendum is still only an idea that remains beautiful on paper, but in reality, it can also be blocked by a majority of votes in the Parliament. Thus, while it is possible to concentrate on the actions and words of Boris Johnson since it is he who remains the protagonist of the "Merlaison Ballet".
According to the latest data, Boris Johnson's main goal was the idea of holding re-elections to Parliament, as he was completely disillusioned with the idea of carrying out any Brexit scenario through the current parliamentary composition. Clearly, through the election, Johnson wants to increase his party's strength in the Lower House and bring it to a level where the votes of conservatives and their allies will be enough to make any decisions promoted by the Prime Minister. What will be the results of the elections, we will not guess. We only recall that Theresa May also once organized early elections for this purpose, in reality, the position of the conservatives worsened. But let us pay attention to the fact that to hold early elections to the Parliament, you need the approval of the Parliament itself, at least 2/3 of the deputies. Given that usually Johnson's bills and proposals do not gain even half of the votes of the parliamentarians, the Prime Minister needs support in this issue of the main "rival firm" – the Labor Party. Thus, attention smoothly shifts from Johnson's figure to Corbyn's figure.
Jeremy Corbyn said today that his party will not support the idea of re-election to Parliament until the possibility of a Brexit without a "deal" is completely ruled out. According to Johnson, "the current version of the agreement allows for the possibility of Brexit without it." That is, Johnson can implement a "hard" Brexit, according to Corbyn. Boris Johnson himself paused the discussion of Brexit after Parliament refused to consider the entire bill in an emergency mode for three days. And Corbyn wants Johnson to officially close the topic of "hard" Brexit and only after that is ready to return to the idea of holding early parliamentary elections. The EU itself, according to the latest information, is waiting for the UK Parliament to decide on its re-election and discussion of the "deal" and only after that will announce the timing of the transfer of Brexit. Previously, we called the Brexit situation a "dead end." Now, this is a "dead-end in the square." Corbyn will wait for Johnson to completely rule out the possibility of a "hard" Brexit. The EU will wait for Parliament to make a decision. Boris Johnson will wait for some reason and try, with the help of good luck, to pass at least some proposals through the Parliament. Voting for parliamentary elections should take place on Monday or Tuesday. In principle, Boris Johnson can already prepare for his seventh defeat in a row without a single victory.
