British Parliament again rejects PM Johnson's latest bid for election

In Britain, Parliament again has rejected Prime Minister Boris Johnson's latest bid for a general election on December 12. The motion failed, with 299 votes in favor and just 70 against. However, it fell shy of the 434 votes which is two-thirds of all MPs, required to pass.

The Prime said, this House can no longer keep this country hostage and Parliament had become dysfunctional.

Johnson has attacked Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn for refusing to back a general election.

Meanwhile, the opposition Labour Party abstained in the vote, making it impossible to secure the necessary two-thirds majority.

BBC reports that Boris Johnson is to try again for a pre-Christmas election after MPs rejected his plans for the third time.
