Who governs Britain if no one wins the election outright? GE2019
LONDON - Britain’s parliamentary election is billed as a chance to decide what the country does next about Brexit, but the result of the Dec. 12 ballot may not be clear-cut, leaving parties scrambling to form alliances.
If no party wins an outright majority of around 326 seats, Johnson’s Conservatives and the main opposition Labour Party will have to look to smaller parties to see if they can find someone to support them in a minority government.As prime minister, Johnson would make the first move - either to resign or try to form a minority government.
Whoever tries to run a minority government must therefore persuade one or more smaller parties to do one of the following:- abstain, thereby lowering the total number of votes required for victory.WHAT DO THE SMALLER PARTIES SAY?The SNP has ruled out any formal coalition and says it would not vote to make Johnson prime minister. However, it could be willing to form an informal alliance with Corbyn if he agrees to consider giving Scotland another referendum on independence.
