The UK's House of Commons has again rebuffed Prime Minister Boris Johnson's attempt to call a snap election. <br /> Only 293 lawmakers voted in favor of the motion in the early hours of Tuesday local time, leaving it far short of the two-thirds majority it needed due to many abstentions.<br />Johnson's call for an early election came after a new law looking to prevent a no-deal Brexit was granted royal assent on Monday. <br />The "no-deal" legislation forces the Prime Minister to delay Brexit until January 31st next year unless he manages to make a deal with the EU or gets approval for no-deal Brexit from lawmakers by October 19th. <br />
