It is strange how at the moment only Boris wants an election. I
wonder why...

The actual answer...

If he calls an election the constituencies of the deselected rebel
Tories and retirees will be able to put up new loyal candidates. Thus
maintaining or increasing his majority (so he hopes)

and these current MPS might stand as Independents, so splitting the
Tory vote.

Do you REALLY think any of them will even retain their deposit outside
the Party?

The Guildford MP, one of the 'rebels', was reflecting the opinions of her
constituents - who voted 'remain'. She might do very well on her own.
