LONDON - With Britain’s parliament deadlocked over the way forward on Brexit, speculation is growing that Prime Minister Theresa May could call a snap election to try and break the impasse.
The Sunday Times reported her media chief, Robbie Gibb, and her political aide Stephen Parkinson were pushing for an election. Many of May’s Conservatives oppose the idea of an election. If she cannot persuade enough of her party to support an election, May could be forced to back a no-confidence vote in her own government in order to try to trigger one.Last week, in a bid to win Conservative lawmakers over to her deal, May promised to step down before the next phase of Brexit negotiations if her deal was approved by parliament. She has previously said she would not contest the 2022 election.
The party is deeply divided on the issue. Half of May’s lawmakers voted in favor of a ‘no deal’ Brexit when parliament voted on alternative Brexit options last week, while 34 supported seeking a customs union with the EU and eight backed a confirmatory public vote on any deal.
