It's an utterly bizarre situation where the opposition is seemingly

They are smart enough not to fall into the trap of executing a vote of
no confidence and then having Boris set a date for the election after
his disastrous hard Brexit has been forced through.

Quite. Seems to have been his whole policy to date. Break or bend any
rules for his own ends. The only way to regain the votes the Tories have
lost to the Brexit party.

But you can't really expect the likes of Boris to know or care what
might
be best for the country.

Is Corbyn's propping up Boris in office but unable to govern 'the best
for the country'?

Better than a no-deal Brexit - which isn't saying much.

They only need to hang him out to dry on his zip wire until 31/10/2019.
Once his self imposed Brexit "do-or-die" deadline passes he is toast.

Then what? We start the ridiculous charade all over again for another
three months. Not getting anywhere because we never approach a deadline
when any pressure comes to bear and anything actually happens.

What is the point?

The electorate is losing patience. The EU will lose patience. We'll
get no nearer to a good deal. And no deal will remain the default
position. Maybe there'll be a gradual realisation that we don't have
the Article 50 time limit totally in our own hands. Maybe that will
come as a sudden, unpleasant and unexpected surprise to some. All it
takes is just one of the 27 countries of the EU to break ranks, and
we'll be out, deal or no deal.
