(CNN)The UK’s main opposition party will likely seek to topple Prime Minister Theresa May’s government and force a general election if she loses a key Brexit vote early next week.
If the government survives a vote of no confidence, Labour could begin campaigning for a second referendum on remaining in the European Union, the shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer said Sunday.
“It seems to me that if the Prime Minister has lost a vote of that sort of significance, then there has to be a question of confidence in her government,” Starmer told Sky News, referring to the December 11 vote scheduled in the House of Commons for May’s Brexit bill.
