Well I've talked about that elsewhere.

Here I am specifically adressing the case that Boris, in the case
that
parliament forces the PM to request an extension, hands in his
resignation.

As far as I can see this does not automatically trigger an
election. If
the
PM resigns parliament must either vote or a general election (which
requires
a vote with a 2/3 majority), or they must appoint a new PM.

Corbyn says he is favour of an early election, and therefore
2/3rds should
be
no problem.

Ah, but Corbyn, quite rightly, doesn't trust Boris Johnson to stick
to
the election date of, so far, 14 October. That's why Corbyn demanded
tonight that Royal Assent first be granted to the Bill that will have
been passed by the House of Commons AND the House of Lords. Only
after
the RA is fact would Labour consider giving in to Boris's election
wish.

Of course the fact that the Conservatives lead the polls with 10
points over
labour and rising has nothing to do with Corbyn imposing conditions
that are
unlikely to be achieved

That was the situation yesterday evening...those figures would restore
a con
majority without the DUP.

Those poll figures would also see Labour lose another 40 seats, and
then be
100 behind the Tories.

Therefore Corbyn would have no alternative but to resign, and there
would
have to be a leadership contest.

Who was it that mentioned Corbyn was playing a smart game?

He's playing a very smart game by not falling for Johnson's trickery
today.

You think so? It seems that we're increasingly no-deal Brexit-bound -

What on Earth makes you think that? The legislation being debated this
afternoon is almost certain to pass, and then be rushed through to the
statute books by early next week, so no deal will become illegal

But its not possible for any UK legislation to override the
provisions of Article 50 that its a no deal brexit without
parliament accepting what the EU offers.

The only UK legislation that can do that is revoking Article 50 and
there is no evidence that the current parliament will do that this week.

(at least until end of January next year but the roll of the dice is that
the imminent election will mix things up well enough that something
sensible can finally be done with this dire ****show).

Its far from clear that there will be a general election before an automatic
Article 50 no deal brexit.

With regards to polling figures, kindly do try and remember the absolute
state of Labours numbers right up until 10pm on polling day when it was
shortly thereafter revealed that theyd more or less tied with the Tories.
In other words; dont believe their lies.

Not lies so much as difficult to poll accurately.
