Try reading your own link. It says “If nothing is resolved after 14 days, a general election is automatically triggered.” “AUTOMATICALLY”. That means it’s out of Boris’ hands and a GE will be happening 25 days later regardless of what Boris says.

There’s another possibility. Defections and resignations from the Tory party. How many Tory MP’s need to do either to trigger an election?

You may well have hit the nail on the head there. Time will tell.

You’re still wrong. If no body can form a government within those 14 days a general election is called and parliament is dissolved with an election being held 25 days later. I’m yet to see a set of circumstances where Boris gets to name the date, especially after a vote of no confidence.

Johnson will have 14 days from the vote to try and overturn it. If he fails to do that I’m not sure he’ll even have a say in when the next general election will be as he’ll no longer be PM so I’m not sure how he’ll be able to delay it until November. I think you’re possibly wrong. Again.

But if she suspended parliament at the PM’s request minus a vote in the commons she is intervening. It’s only a vote in parliament that can stop her intervening as she will simply be following protocol. Without that vote whether she accepts or refuses the request she is intervening.

I think Rory Stewart pretty much said he would vote against the government in a vote of no confidence should the next PM try to suspend parliament during his leadership campaign. He then increased his number of votes from MP’s in the next round. There’s certainly evidence to suggest a rebellion...

When was that? Presumably before Women and the Plebs were allowed to vote?

That isn’t actually what you said. You said that only the opposition can trigger an election. So you’re still A) Wrong B) backtracking and C) attempting to do B with deflection.

Which actually could deliver a more functional government than the current one.

A) you are wrong. B) the labour parties official line is that a general election is their preferred solution even above a second referendum. So again you’re wrong.

Correct. The government can put it to the commons to a vote and a two thirds majority will trigger a general election which is what May did. The opposition can’t do this. The opposition can only force a general election through a vote of no confidence. So when Grendull says it’s for the...

So how did May do it?

Why is it?

Call an election then.

So much for voting leave to secure parliamentary democracy.

There’s a mix tape of him saying he’d love it if we were like Norway on YouTube. It wasn’t even a passing comment, it’s something he said on a regular basis. The latter comment I couldn’t honestly say that I heard him say it although it was I believe UKIP’s official line through the referendum...

“I’d love it if we could be like Norway”. “Lets be clear, no one is talking about leaving the single market”. No deal 'only acceptable' Brexit, says Farage

You may have been lulled into thinking that your job is now looking after your baby. It’s actually to look after the mother. Any looking after the baby will be a consequence of looking after the mother. For instance you’ll get into work to find a tired emotional person in the house, that will be...
