London: Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson has received the first major defeat in Parliament over Brexit. Rebel MPs from his own Conservative Party, along with opposition MPs, took control of the functioning of the House of Commons, which could delay the Brexit. Because of this, now elections can be held in England before the forced time.

Johnson received 301 votes on this important resolution while 328 votes against him. Boris Johnson became Prime Minister with the promise that Britain would break away from the European Union even if the agreement on Brexit was not reached by 31 October, while opponents wanted the deadline to be extended.

21 MPs from Johnson's own party voted against the government, making the country likely to hold general elections by mid-October. If the voting on Wednesday also goes against Johnson, he will be obliged by Parliament to seek a deadline of at least 31 January 2020 to reach the Brexit Agreement.

However, in a statement confirming not to succumb to this demand, he said that he would instead submit a proposal for holding general elections. Immediately after the defeat for the first time as Prime Minister, Johnson said, "Don't hold any opinion about the results of the vote tonight." This means that the Parliament is on the verge of ending any agreement. Since tomorrow's vote will lead to talks with the European Union, it will mean more dilemma, and delay and confusion."

Boris has also warned rebel MPs of his party. He said, "If Parliament votes on Wednesday to stop the Brexit Bill without compromise, then the public will decide who will go to the European Union on October 17 to resolve the issue and take Brexit forward."

At the same time, Leader of the Opposition Corbyn said, "The vote has been confirmed that Britain does not have a majority to break away from the EU without any agreement." Johnson must present a resolution not to be separated without agreement before presenting any proposal to hold elections.
