  • Q&A. Why does the EU and the UK peek into the abyss of 'no deal'?

Boris Johnson has ruled out today to be preparing for a hypothetical new general election in the UK during the next fall, ensuring that what people want is not to vote again but to be given what they have previously requested at the polls, not It is something other than Brexit. The new conservative leader is unveiling, with each passing day, his strategy to stay as long as possible on Downing Street, and even his spokesman said today that "the United Kingdom will leave the European Union on October 31 whatever the circumstances".

During the weekend there has been much speculation that Johnson had already begun the pre-campaign to prepare for those possible new elections, something he has ruled out today during an event in Lincolnshire: "No. The answer is no. The United Kingdom voted in the 2015 elections, had a referendum in 2016 and new generals in 2017. What they want is for us to get what they asked for, which is nothing more than leaving the European Union. The last thing I want to do is reconvene other elections. "

His advisors have also unofficially revealed that although the opposition leader, Jeremy Corbyn, fulfills his threat to move forward with a motion of censure to force new general elections, he will arrive too late because the new prime minister has the springs necessary to delay the date beyond the day marked for departure. Even so, and in case the opposition manages to advance it in some way, Johnson has decided to embark on a pre-campaign to help him annul his opponents both on the left and on the right.

One of its first steps has been today's announcement to inject around 1.960 million euros into the National Health System (NHS), one of the most emblematic promises of the 'Leave' campaign and that arrives as a throwing weapon to cancel The strengths of the Labor Party. The opposition affected him last week to allocate an amount similar to the budget to the preparation for departure without agreement instead of reserving it to reinforce social services, a campaign strategy that seemed more comfortable for a Jeremy Corbyn who still does not place his match as the formation that will lead to permanence.

"We will do everything possible to avoid the 'no agreement', even to move forward with a motion of censure as soon as possible. The prime minister seems to be wanting to put us down without the Parliament or the British people, but sorry, it would be a scenario too serious. Serious for the price of food, for trade and for investment, sending us headlong to the kind of agreement that Donald Trump wants to sign with Boris Johnson, "criticized the Labor leader.

Johnson's idea is to make two more injections of capital into the Health system that coincide with the return of Parliament and with the departure of the European Union to try to anesthetize those who distrust the impact that their Brexit model can have on health . In addition, and as they have highlighted from within their own Government, the money will be used to rehabilitate hospitals so that patients can see with their own eyes what is being done with the funds, in addition to allocating most of those grants to centers located in those areas that voted for the exit.

Theresa May already announced about 37,000 million euros extra last year, so the opposition is criticizing him for extolling "a drop in the ocean" as if he were really fulfilling the promise of 400 million euros a week for the NHS who did the 'Leave' campaign. Even so, and with the commitment that his spokesman has once again stressed about the EU's departure, Johnson hopes to neutralize on the right the impact that the Nigel Farage Brexit Party had on the European elections.

"The United Kingdom will leave the European Union on October 31 whatever the circumstances. Without buts or conditions. We have to restore confidence in our democracy and fulfill the promises we have made to the people," said the Johnson spokesman. , who declined to confirm whether the 'premier' would respect a parliamentary rejection of the non-negotiated exit. "We politicians cannot choose what kind of votes we respect and which we don't. We promised to respect the outcome of the referendum and that is what we should do."
