LONDON - After more than 1,000 days of political brawling, hordes of headlines and dizzying lurches in sterling, the battle of Brexit enters the endgame.
They may have just days to stop Johnson, and are ready to use every piece of arcane parliamentary process at their disposal. His showdown with parliament will determine the course of Brexit - the United Kingdom’s most significant geopolitical decision since World War Two. The current parliament, for decades defined by loyalties to either the center-right Conservatives or the center-left Labour Party, reflects those deep divisions, with a minority government in power and each party internally split over the right approach to Brexit.When lawmakers return from their summer break on Sept. 3, those opposed to Johnson’s strategy, combining all rival parties and some Conservative rebels, have two main options to try to stop him: change the law, or change the government.
Johnson denied any impropriety, saying it was in line with the conventions that allow him to set out his new political program, and insisting there would be time to debate Brexit. But the process, expected to begin next with a request for an emergency debate, is fraught with challenges. “They are going to be pivotal, we have got to get enough Tory rebels, not to bring down their government just to say to the government: you can’t have a no-deal Brexit.”
The battle has tested the limits of most lawmakers’ knowledge of parliamentary procedures and shown the difficulties of Britain having an uncodified constitution, which is largely upheld through convention and precedent, to the fore. Labour say they will call one when they think they can win it, and want to use a 14-day period after the vote to install their leader Jeremy Corbyn as head of a temporary government with the purpose of delaying Brexit and calling an election.
