Does this help in any way? You just need a 2/3 majority no?
It shortens the timeline I think - they're betting on Corbyn being unwilling to stand aside, therefore a GNU won't get the votes, which means they can shortcut the timing to get a GE before Brexit day - an election after Brexit day would be suicidal as we'd have the actual results of no-deal, food and medicine shortages, English Police on the border in NI etc.
Dammit
Is this just to get round the fixed term parliament act so they can get the GE in before the 31st of October?
