  • UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday called for a snap general election on December 1
  • The prime minister is expected to bring forward a motion next week to hold an election before Christmas.
  • It would require the support of two-thirds of MPs in the House of Commons.
  • Opposition parties have rejected previous election motions for fear that Johnson would take the UK out of the European Union without a deal during the election period.
  • However, the EU is expected to grant the UK another Brexit delay on Friday, paving the way for opposition parties to back a fresh election.
  • The Labour Party is set to back a snap election once Brexit has been delayed.
