• I'm not sure how BoJo calls a GE without taking on the very real risk that the Tory party will be destroyed by the Brexit party if he leans left or by a Labour and Lib coalition if he leans right.

    Surely a 2nd Ref gives them the best chance of staying in power, which seems to be his real and only motive. The one thing he doesn't want is a 3 month premiership.

  • 3 months would be fine. He only cares about himself and can claim the PM pension now.

    He's either going so far to the right that the BXP is made irrelevant, or he's going to partner with Farrage. Corbyn won't go into coalition with anyone, so the Left is split.

    Johnson fears the result of a referendum, he doesn't fear Corbyn - he believes, I think correctly, that he can beat him. Therefore pushing the HoC to reject no-deal so he can call an election, beat Corbyn and solidify his power is a logical course.
