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'?

Are you desperate to vote Corbyn in, then?

We need a general election regardless of the result.

But I don't see a Corbyn government given Labour's standing in the polls,
and the complete inability of Labour and other Remain parties to come to
any compromise agreement. The Remain vote will therefore be hopelessly
split between Labour, the LibDems, the Greens and the SNP.

IMO its much more likely that the LimpDim vote will increase dramatically
because they are the only major party that is unambiguously remain now
apart from the SNP and the SNP hasnt got a hope in hell of ever being
the party with the majority of the vote in the entire UK in a general
election.

Why else do you think Corbyn is so scared to bring a no confidence motion
that he would almost certainly win?

He's not so stupid that he doesnt realise that a general election now
allows Boris to have it just after 29-Oct and given the purdah rule
that would mean a default no deal brexit on that date if he refuses
to ask the EU for an extension or the EU refuses to agree to one.
