They plan to get Boris Johnson out of power to avoid a brutal Brexit

PARIS – Leave Brexit without effect by provoking
Boris Johnson? This is the proposal made in recent days by the Labor leader,
Jeremy Corbynwho, after a motion of censure, would badume "temporarily" the leadership of the British government. If his initiative fails, Corbyn has other legislative means to prevent the current Prime Minister from keeping his promise to leave power.

"We have to work together even when we often do not like what they say We must prevent Brexit without agreement (
not agree) "Rebecca Long-Bailey, Minister of Economy in the shadow government of the British opposition, said the day before yesterday.A day earlier, Corbyn sent a letter to all political leaders of the country who opposed the brutal Brexit, suggested by Johnson since He came to Downing Street on the 24th last month

In this letter, the leader of the Labor opposition puts aside his euroscepticism to propose a partisan alliance to defeat Johnson immediately after the resumption of parliamentary sessions on 3 September.

"Our priority should be to work together in Parliament to avoid a painful outburst without an agreement, which would deprive voters of the last word," Corbyn told the leaders of the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP), the Liberal Democratic Party and the United States. nationalists.

The moment is opportune. The Johnson government is determined to leave the Union on October 31, although it has not renegotiated the agreement reached between former Prime Minister Theresa May and Brussels, but has a small majority of only one vote in the House of Commons. If the motion of censure came to an end and Corbyn badumed power "for a strictly limited time", he would ask the EU to postpone the date of departure again in order to hold early elections. The union leader agrees to convene a new referendum that would explicitly raise "the possibility of staying in the EU". That is cancel the Brexit.

The Corbyn initiative is a response to recent threats from Johnson's team, whose plan would be to bypbad Parliament. After a motion of censure, the opposition has 14 days to elect a government. Otherwise, it is the outgoing Prime Minister who must call early elections, at a date that suits him. The trick imagined by the
ultrabrexiter Dominic Cummings, Johnson's all-powerful advisor, would set these elections after October 31 in order to finalize Brexit, even without the Commons' agreement.

The most centrist sectors of his party criticize Corbyn for his economic positions and his warmth in the fight against anti-semitic drifts within the Labor Party.

In Swinson's view, an emergency government should be led by the oldest member of the House of Commons. He cited, for example, Conservative Ken Clarke or Labor Harriet Harman.

Conscious of this reluctance, Corbyn seems "determined to" use legislation to prevent a

According to Corbyn, the motion of censure against the government and the extension vote of Article 50 should be conducted almost simultaneously. The latter would destroy Johnson's plan to leave the EU "at any cost" on October 31st.
