I disagree on the ERG - bear in mind that Johnson had specified that applying for an extension to transition was reserved to the executive, and could not and would not be something that parliament could inform or perform.
= his unamended WAB guaranteed a no-deal at the end of 2020, which is why the ERG supported him.
He called the election as he knew his WAB would pass, but with the transition part amended, which meant that he'd be compelled to request an extension in May next year - anathema to the ERG as they know we'd likely be in transition for 7-10 years.
