Whenever it happens, the next UK election will be vicious, nasty and personal, writes CNN's LukeMcGee
London Boris Johnson has been backed into a corner over Brexit. Partly through his own missteps, partly from the growing opposition to his "do-or-die" Brexit plan, Johnson is a man for whom the losses are piling up, while the UK is a country running out of time.
All of the remaining Brexit options facing Johnson -- and to a larger extent the UK -- lead to one place: An early election. The only real question is whether it happens before or after Brexit.Whenever it happens, the next election will be vicious, nasty and personal.
Nigel Farage slams 'pipsqueak' Luxembourg PM 01:41Corbyn's supporters, meanwhile, point to Johnson's privileged background, which they believe makes him blind to the effect of his policies on people who don't come from the same walk of life as him. Early in his bid to lead the country, for example, Johnson boasted that no politician had defended bankers as much as he did."I defended them day in, day out.
Boris Johnson leaves Luxembourg PM alone at joint presser 02:21Given that the Brexit vote was won on a narrow 52%-48% mandate, a party willing to stop Brexit in its tracks is set up to be successful. Successful enough, as it happens, that the Lib Dems finished in second place at the UK's most recent national vote -- the elections to the European Parliament. And in first place? The Brexit party.
