Boris defeated, but what does it really mean? [View all]

So he thinks he is calling a general election - but can he? This is what I think:

If the Bill becomes law.
Boris has decided he wants a general election.
Labour will not agree to it until the vote tonight becomes law.
Labour is then betting they win an election and go re-negotiate.
2nd Referendum will be off the table.

However as much as would rather stab myself in the eye I think I would potentially vote for a Corbyn government.. hell, I can't stand him, but however much he can fuck up us economically and take us back to the 70's, it cannot be as bad as a no deal...

I think they will try and run it out of time in the Lords. We will see.
We live in interesting times.

There are times that I am happy that my first degree was in law - in these confusing times studying constitutional law is very handy!
