    I may be old fashioned but I think to win a General Election the Labour Party would need to win more seats than all the other Parties put together.

    No party will win a GE until Brexit is resolved , the main two are split by it , as is the country.

    It is certainly an interesting time in British politics.
    For Boris to deliver a no deal Brexit in time for October 31st, assuming he gets elected, he would have to bypass parliament. This IS possible - he would have to dissolve Parliament early I think, to prevent anyone tabling a motion designed to prevent it. However, the Remainers, the mischief-makers and those genuinely opposed to no-Deal aren’t stupid - they know this, so they will either table the motion early, or wait for Corbyn to table a ‘no confidence’ vote which could trigger a General Election.
    I may be slightly wrong with some of the above, but the core gist is that Boris is not, and will not be, empowered to deliver a no-deal Brexit on 31st October without the goodwill and cooperation of many people who hate Brexit and hate HIM.
    In theory it can be done, but it will require a lot of ‘technicalities’ to force it through - and then there’s Burcow.......
    Absolutely NOT crowing about this - just pointing out the reality of what needs to happen, to those people who might be tempted into believing Boris will deliver on time............
