The British MPs finally approved Tuesday, October 29, the holding of early parliamentary elections on December 12. Prime Minister Boris Johnson hopes they will help him regain a majority and implement his promise to take the UK out of the European Union.
The text calling this vote, the third general election in four years, was adopted by an overwhelming majority of 438 votes for (20 against) in the House of Commons, which had previously rejected an amendment of the Labor opposition setting the date of the vote to December 9.
