There is a huge difference between wanting to repatriate control to

but that's how our democracy works, mps do what's best for the country.
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?

We have been through this, if they call a general election then boris
gets to decide when and he will abuse it to his advantage.

And of course Labour are doing no such thing, are they? Oh no, not at
all. They wouldn't dream oplaying such political games, would they?

They said they will support a GE after a suitable extension to brexit is
agreed so boris can't just dissolve parliament for however long he
decides to take on an election.

I have no doubt that if an extension is agreed boris will not be calling
for an election. Neither will the brexiteers.

Can you tell us how it is in the national interest to have a government
that is not allowed to function to be maintained in office any longer than
is absolutely necessary?

It functions fine. All the parliament has tried to do is make it ask
for an extension and it remains to be seen if boris will do that and
if the EU will agree to that.
