I think Parliament should be working together to navigate a way out of this mess. They keep voting against what they don't want but don't come up with any alternative plan.

Corbyn is a chicken. He has an opportunity to bring down the government and seek a mandate from the people. But he won't because he's scared of a Brexit backlash against his MP's , many of whom represent areas that voted leave

@SW-User Corbyn labour and the rest have banged on about a general election for 2 years to let the people decide , now he has refused one as everyone else has , there would be a backlash from people against MPs

@SW-User Yes Parliment needs to work togther but the problem is thiers far to many towing party line and looking at thier own seat is safe for the next GE.

As for Corbyn he's actually playing it right, Boris has brought on ALL of this mess by making the Tories a minority Government and not the oppersition parties.

I also think until Boris will agree he will stay within the law no GE will happen.

@Nyloncapes Corbyn keeps shifting position and his Brexit spokesman - Keir Starmer - keeps saying things publicly that go against the Labour Party line but Corbyn does nothing because many of his back benchers don't back him or want him as leader. He is as vulnerable as Boris is right now which is why he won't trigger a no confidence vote because he doesn't have the backing of other parties to form an interim government.

Boris could be shrewd and go to the queen and say his government cannot command a majority and are resigning on mass. Corbyn would be summoned to the Palace and would be given 14 days to form a government. The Libs and SNP won't prop him up so he would fail , triggering a general election

@SW-User THE3 problem is the Tories and Labour are both doing the same they don't know what to do as Brxit has passed party bounderies and they are tryign to appeal to both sides rather than just picking one way.

I think it would be very hard to have an intrim Government, how would it work?

I don't ever see Boris offering up his place as PM he"s wnated this all his polictical life and will hang on to it even if it means he's not the shortest ever PM.
