Britain will most likely hold general elections in November. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has lost his parliamentary majority and no longer has the votes to pass legislation. Parliament was officially suspended early Tuesday morning. The move came just weeks before Britain is supposed to leave the European Union. Opposition lawmakers have likened parliament’s suspension to a coup. A high court agrees. Judges at Scotland’s highest court have ruled the suspension illegal. The case is to go to Britain’s Supreme Court next week. The country is set to withdraw from the European Union on October 31. Last week, opposition lawmakers passed legislation that may force the prime minister to ask EU officials for an extension.
