Surely all that will do is generate a GE which jezza and co are desparate to avoid.
Could we have the unusual situation of the Tories voting for a VONC and Labour against? The VBQC are Still Zugswanged.

VONC, Caretaker Government , Extention to Brexit It's as simple as that. End Of.

[Old_Geezer]

In which case followed by GE, massive majority for leave candidates, acts passed to tell the EU that their 5th columnists have been ejected and they know what they can do with their further delay. End of.

[drmorgans]

Or hung parliament, five more years of name-calling and insults, and Brexit still isn't resolved (not end of)

[gulliver1]

Massive majority, dream on.

It’s hard to see the Conservatives winning an overall majority in an election. Polls suggest they’d lose all or nearly all of their 13 Scottish seats and if many of their deposed MPs stand again that also risks splitting the vote in those constituencies. So indeed there is a very good chance that another election would indeed lead to another hung parliament. Nothing is clear cut. Opinion polls are less reliable than in the days of uniform national swings, as we saw in 2017.

[drmorgans]

Didn't May getting an increased popular vote but fewer seats in the 2017 debacle? So it's not just the number of votes but the spread - adding in a possibly resurgent Lib Dem and the unknown quantity of Nige's Brexit party.

[ToraToraTora]

yes drmorgans the last election was very unusually polarised. At any other time either side would have had a huge majority having polled only slightly less percentage wise than Blair in 1997.

[Old_Geezer]

The Conservatives just need a majority or even a near minority; it's democratically favouring leaver MP's that need a majority if the people are to be truly represented. But if it comes to that Johnson really should swallow his pride and agree an arrangement with Farage, regardless of reluctance of Cummings.
