More specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the government of Boris Johnson has a vote of confidence in the Parliament,\nQueen Elizabeth can do a few things and independently whether she applauds the\nPrime Minister&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a fact that the English Parliament is closed at this time and not\nextraordinary but because it has been institutionalized. Simply, the Prime\nMinister of England used an excuse for the better preparation of his government\nin order to bring a better deal on Brexit issue and took the advantage to close\nthe Parliament for a longer period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within this new political framework outlined by the British Prime Minister, the Opposition has only two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.<\/strong> To recommend to Parliament&#8217;s plenary the passing of a law forcing the government of Boris Johnson to request an extension of the EU&#8217;s 31 October deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.<\/strong> To file a direct motion of censure against the government in order to overthrow the government of Boris Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Boris Johnson wins the vote of confidence, he is strengthened to fully\nimplement his strategy and after the date of Britain&#8217;s definitive exit from the\nEU to launch elections whenever he wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if he loses the vote of confidence and resigns, the government will\nmost likely be to be declared elections in late October or early November,\nforcing the new Prime Minister to request an extension of the Brexit period to re-negotiate with the\nEU for a better deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By achieving the prolongation of the closed period of the Parliament, while\nthe opening of the Parliament will leave little time for anything, Prime\nMinister Boris Johnson puts himself with his back against the wall showing both\nthe Opposition but mainly the EU that there is no more space for retreat in any\nof his positions on the Brexit and thus pushing the EU to give him a better\ndeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the issue is that the EU is not so interested in what Boris Johnson and\nBritain in general are doing about a better deal to exit Britain from the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, if Boris Johnson appears in the English Parliament after\n17 October without a better deal or without agreement, the opposition does not\nhave many things to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If on October 31st becomes Brexit without agreement, the Opposition will simply wait for the time that Boris Johnson will launch elections, calling meantime persistently for elections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case the Opposition to rally for the benefit of the vote of protest will put in the beginning a matter of monarchy, showing in this case-wrongly in our opinion-that Queen Elizabeth helped Boris Johnson to pull out without agreement the UK from the EU. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British Prime Minister Boris Johnson strategy of suddenly prolonging the time when the English Parliament is closed has severely restricted the Opposition\u2019s response to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[818,390],"tags":[880,23,1012,1011],"class_list":["post-1062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe","category-politics","tag-boris-johnson","tag-brexit","tag-english-parliament","tag-opposition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1062"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1064,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1062\/revisions\/1064"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
