The House of Commons passed legislation for a December 12th vote, bypassing current election laws. Prime Minister Boris Johnson called for snap elections after his Brexit bill timetable was rejected. Johnson aims to secure a parliamentary majority for his Conservative party. However, the plan could backfire, as seen in 2017 when the Conservatives lost their majority. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn supports the snap elections, launching a campaign for significant change. The bill now awaits approval from the House of Lords. If approved, it will be the UK's first December election in nearly a century.
