no really
enough going on in real time and the real world called the Westminister Bubble rather than make up scenarios
And you had the answer a few days ago but so what
see wiki - Lascelles principles
monarch may refuse... if three conditions are fulfilled which they all are here
Boris is a convention smasher, so what happens if he smashes a few conventions we want ( keep the Monarch out of politics fr'instance) ?
Once they ( Boris silly!) go - do the conventions come back or - - -
do they remain smashed?
very very pointy headed text following. Any double digit IQ ABer should not go beyond this point .... ( that means all of them a cruel voice is heard in the crowd)
A law prof hath said: since conventions such as these are extra statutory, they cant be restored by a statutory reset ( the act says "everything back to 1970" for instance)
I told you it was pointy headed

Calling an election now would be insane: even by the current surreal standards.
For one thing the Tory party has no money to fund a campaign.
One can only imagine what would happen if he did though. He seems to think he was elected President and has a personal mandate: which is hopelessly deluded.
More interesting is why doesn’t Labour call for a vote of no confidence in parliament? Presumably because for all that has happened the govt would still win it. Labour probably needs to stay out of this for now

Can Boris call a general election? (I don’t know).
The 2019 one happened because Johnson put down a motion in the Commons and it was carried after Labour foolishly voted for a general election.
If the same method was used now, not sure the Conservatives would vote for it, and hopefully Labour wouldn’t make the same mistake twice, and would reject it.
Is that still the process ?

If, and its still a pretty big if, an election was called I strongly suspect the result would be a hung parliament. I would anticipate much voter apathy over it.
And remember, in the UK we vote for our MP not the Prime Minister.
As for labour, I doubt they have the cash or the stomach for it just yet either. Libdems, well.... and as for the greens once we have got the homewrecker out of No10 hopefully that'll be the last we see of any of them near power.
