LONDON, Oct. 23-- British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Wednesday that he still wants Britain to leave the European Union (EU) on Oct. 31, despite losing a vital vote on Tuesday night that derailed his strategy. Johnson, making his second appearance at Prime Minister's Questions since moving into 10 Downing Street in July, also said he would welcome a general election to decide the Brexit issue. Answering questions from MPs in the House of Commons, Johnson said what happens next depends on the decision of Brussels to parliament's request for Brexit to be delayed until the end of January. |
