Prime Minister Boris Johnson, frustrated in his Brexit push, calls for Dec. 12 election – The Washington Post

Nicola Sturgeon, the leader of Scotland and a Brexit foe, tweeted Thursday, “So Johnson appears to be saying to MPs ‘if you vote for an election, I’ll bring back my bad Brexit bill and try to drag us out of the E.U. before we go to the polls’. Elections should be exercises in letting voters decide, not devices for charlatans to get their own way.”
