Best laid plans of mice and men...
Anyone, on either side of the divide, who thinks they can control/steer this monster is deluding themselves.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostExactly. But the EU is likely to offer an extension, rather than be stuck with a failing state as a member.

Boris Johnson to call for snap election BEFORE October 31 Brexit date if he loses to rebels this week
Sounds plausible, but could also be an attempt to influence proceedings tomorrow (i.e., rebels will know they have only a few days left as MPs; but most of them don't care and many have already announced that they're standing down).
Why should Brexit-supporting Tory voters trust him to deliver when the Tories have failed dismally to do so for three years, and given that an outright Tory win would give them a free pass to kick the can down the road for several more years?!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

There are shenanigans. Many. We have an unwritten constitution. However, I think the actual actions of the gov't cut through some of the fluff (assuming they aren't being very clever clever about something). They are offering a GE. That suggests that they don't have a route to block legislation with a good % chance. Afterall, like you said, a pre-Brexit election is going to be very tricky. All indications are that the gov't is cornered. But we'll see...Comment
