There is a huge difference between wanting to repatriate control to

unlike boris,

Then why won't they vote for a general election? We have a government
in office but not in power. It's stymied at every turn. It is being
prevented from governing. The best for the country is to have a general
election. Why are they so reluctant to have one?

Please explain why an election would help to solve the Brexit crisis.

The Brexit crisis as you call it is a simple result of Parliament not
being representative of the people's views, and being determined to go
against the free choice of the people expressed in a single issue
referendum.

The way to resolve that, if it's possible, is to have a general election
where, hopefully, Parliament will become rather more properly
representative.

That clearly didnt happen with the general election May called.

Are you hoping that by shuffling the pack and dealing the cards again
you'll end up with a Royal Flush? A majority of MPs in favour of any
particular course of action?

Who knows? What is clear, though, is that we need a functioning
government, which we do not have at present. It needs to deal with more
than just a single issue.

It does, most obviously with the budget.

Labour is acting purely out of self-interest in preventing an election
when the national interest is crying out for one. It is the first
opposition in history that seems unwilling to face the electorate to get
itself elected.

Thats a lie.

And what sort of opposition is that? It needs to be replaced too.

Taint even possible given the FPP system.
