		</div><p>Boris Johnson is to push on with his effort to secure a pre-Christmas general election after MPs rejected his third attempt to go to the country.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister failed to get the two-thirds majority he needed to secure an election on December 12 under the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act (FTPA).</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>However, Mr Johnson said he would now come back with a “short” Bill setting aside the provisions of the FTPA which would require just a simple majority.</p>
<p>He said he would continue to press for a December 12 polling day – even though the Liberal Democrats and the SNP suggested at the weekend they could support a slightly earlier date of December 9.</p>
<p>Following the vote – which saw the Government fall 135 votes short of the 434 needed – Mr Johnson told MPs they had to end the deadlock over Brexit.</p>
<p>“We will not allow this paralysis to continue,” he said.</p>
<p>Boris Johnson’s third attempt for early election rejected by MPs</p>

<p>MPs have rejected Boris Johnson’s third attempt to force an early general election to end the Brexit deadlock.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister had urged the Commons to back his plan for a poll on December 12 – which would have provided time to pass the Withdrawal Agreement Bill before the campaign starts.</p>
<p>But MPs voted 299 to 70, short of the two-thirds majority needed, in favour of a snap election.</p>
<p>Mr Johnson is now expected to make a fresh attempt to drive legislation through the Commons which would only require a simple majority, and set aside the provisions of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act.</p>
<p>It comes after the Liberal Democrats and SNP indicated over the weekend that they would back such an approach if the poll was held on December 9.</p>
<p>Johnson has told MPs the British government will now give notice of a short Bill for a general election on December 12.<br />
Johnson says Commons is ‘incapable’ of delivering Brexit as he urges MPs to back poll</p>

<p>Boris Johnson has said the House of Commons is “incapable” of delivering Brexit as he urged MPs to back his plan for a pre-Christmas general election.</p>
<p>The British Prime Minister’s rallying cry came as he confirmed the UK’s “formal agreement” to the EU extending Britain’s membership until January 31 – unless Parliament ratifies his Brexit deal sooner.</p>
<p>With his pledge to take Britain out of the EU by the end of this month in tatters, Mr Johnson called on MPs to back his plan for a poll on December 12 – which would provide time to pass the Withdrawal Agreement Bill before the campaign starts.</p>
<p>Mr Johnson said: “Across the country there is a widespread view that this Parliament has run its course.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>“I simply do not believe that this House is capable of delivering on the priorities of the people, whether that means Brexit or anything else.”</p>
