Why has the majority of Parliament now turned and supported new elections?
- Among other things, Liberal Democrats, who want to stop Brexit, have come to the conclusion that a new election is the only possible way at the moment to ensure that Brexit does not go away, since a referendum does not have support in Parliament. When it came to Labor, the pressure was simply too great within the party. They have waited until an agreement-free Brexit is out of the game, and now believes that it has been achieved, says SVT's foreign reporter Anna-Maja Persson in SVT's Morning Study.
What does it look like for Torys leader Boris Johnson's opportunities to strengthen his mandate?
- He is very good at opinion polls and is victorious, while Labor is not so good at. Johnson will use an electoral motto that goes to "the people against the elected people", since he thinks that it is Parliament that prevented this road to Brexit and refused to do what the people meant.
And the opponent Corbyn?
-He has no reason to be optimistic. There have been many discussions around the decision to support the new election, and there are still those who think it is stupid. Much indicates that Labor will make a poor choice.
Now it's been three years - how long are the British able to do this?
- We see how this issue has divided the country into two parts, for and against. But a new survey now shows that a majority of voters, on both sides, think that a certain measure of violence is justified against the MPs to achieve their respective goals. That's incredible, and those who did the survey at the University of Cardiff were completely shocked by the results. So no matter what happens - if the British get a clear majority government after the new election or if they end up in the same seat again - there is a risk that we will see violence as the situation is so aggravated.
