Well I've talked about that elsewhere.

Here I am specifically adressing the case that Boris, in the case that
parliament forces the PM to request an extension, hands in his
resignation.

As far as I can see this does not automatically trigger an
election. If
the
PM resigns parliament must either vote or a general election (which
requires
a vote with a 2/3 majority), or they must appoint a new PM.

Corbyn says he is favour of an early election, and therefore
2/3rds should
be
no problem.

Ah, but Corbyn, quite rightly, doesn't trust Boris Johnson to stick to
the election date of, so far, 14 October. That's why Corbyn demanded
tonight that Royal Assent first be granted to the Bill that will have
been passed by the House of Commons AND the House of Lords. Only after
the RA is fact would Labour consider giving in to Boris's election
wish.

Of course the fact that the Conservatives lead the polls with 10 points over
labour and rising has nothing to do with Corbyn imposing conditions that are
unlikely to be achieved

That was the situation yesterday evening...those figures would restore a con
majority without the DUP.

Those poll figures would also see Labour lose another 40 seats, and then be
100 behind the Tories.

Therefore Corbyn would have no alternative but to resign, and there would
have to be a leadership contest.

Who was it that mentioned Corbyn was playing a smart game?

He's playing a very smart game by not falling for Johnson's trickery
today.

You think so? It seems that we're increasingly no-deal Brexit-bound -

What on Earth makes you think that? The legislation being debated this
afternoon is almost certain to pass, and then be rushed through to the
statute books by early next week, so no deal will become illegal (at least
until end of January next year but the roll of the dice is that the
imminent election will mix things up well enough that something sensible
can finally be done with this dire ****show).

With regards to polling figures, kindly do try and remember the absolute
state of Labours numbers right up until 10pm on polling day when it was
shortly thereafter revealed that theyd more or less tied with the Tories.
In other words; dont believe their lies.
