Surely we want all hands to the deck rather than everyone focusing on a protracted élection ?
There are 64.1 million people on this ship, 35k local constituents and ~200 MPs are the only ones who have in any way voted for the person who will now be steering this ship.
I do agree that we need uncertainty removed, and stability restored, as soon as possible. But that isn't achieved by having a leader whose vision was only voted on by ~0.0005% of the population.
It's quite fucked.

Votes for babies!
Votes on everything! I didn't get to vote on every specific detail of the recent trade deal with India!
I want my country back!
In all seriousness, it's a representive democracy, it's what happens sometimes.
I'd only want a GE if the alternative was Article 50 being triggered.

Arguably the Constituents who voted for the 200 MPs should be factored into this calculation in some way.

Labour have secured their unity by role-playing in graphic detail the consequences if they are not.
I am really torn between my pragmatic and ideological sides.
And election now would be a cluster-fuck with a totally un-predicable outcome. We have finally given the rest of the world some semblance of certainty, do we really want to rock the boat even more?
