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

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 if the same proportions are elected then nothing will change.

They never, ever, have been.

The pack needs shuffling.

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.

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

You still don't get it do you!?
boris will use such a vote to disolve parliament to prevent democratic
debate over brexit.
He already shown his intent with the attempt at a five week prorgument.

Regardless of Boris's motives, which we weren't talking about, Corbyn's
are not to lose his power base which he certainly would in a general
election. He is frightened stiff to do anything that could result in such
an election. That's why he's running scared of the electorate and will
make any feeble excuse he can not to agree to an election, or to force a
motion of no confidence which he would almost certainly win but would have
the same consequence.

It's a pathetic vision of what is supposed to be an opposition impressing
the public as a government-in-waiting ready to assume power.

How low Labour have sunk.

Hardly surprising given that its been hijacked by the Trots.

That was always one real downside of the approach Blair took
to make Labour electable to govt, once he stuffed that up
completely, it was always going to be hijacked by the Trots
and will be unelectable to govt for a generation at least.
