Prime Minister Boris Johnson could call a snap general election before the October 31 Brexit deadline, Tim Bale, a Politics Professor at Queen Mary University of London, has warned. The London-based political expert ruled out a possible Tory-Brexit Party alliance, saying the PM’s plan was to “destroy” the anti-EU movement by delivering Brexit as soon as possible. Professor Bale said a national election in the coming weeks or months is “highly possible.” He said: “It’s a risky gamble but Boris Johnson could do so before October 31.”
