The Prime Minister must use any means at his disposal to prevent further delay and prevarication. All the opponents of Brexit want to do is to prevent it. They see further delay (which is all they can achieve in the immediate future) as a step on the way to achieving that aim. Most of them voted to allow a referendum, most of them stated they would agree to...
I have written on here several times that I believe a Coup is a very bad idea, and will be counter-productive.
It is for that reason I do not believe there will be a vote of no confidence (VONC), or that Corbyn (or anyone else) will steal power.
If by some madness there is a VONC, it will fail and Johnson will survive.
Keep him out!
He is a professional protester, he would be protesting against himself outside Downing Street, and handing in petitions to himself and still going on marches to rail against the system. What a plonker.
I wish I shared your optimism but it only takes two renegade Tories to abstain and Boris is toast. However I am confident that in the subsequent election he will rise, phoenix-like, from the ashes.
If I was Boris Jonson, I would be overjoyed at losing a VONC and a cuckoo installed at No.10.
The public would be outraged and vote in a majority Tory Government in at the shortly to be held General Election.
Corbyn would be toast.
It is not often that my mind boggles but the thought that MPs are prepared to vote down Boris and instal Jez causes it to do so. Government of national unity? My Aris! I suspect, however, that a few Labour MPs will not support Corbyn and that Boris may well survive. The talent that Corbyn has lost from his Front Bench over the past few years is enormous. They are merely biding their time.
In reply to the OP- they probably think it is a price worth paying. I honestly think they are becoming a bit unhinged. I can't think Corbyn would fancy his chances in an election and this is the only grab at power he has. (Glad to know what V B Q C stands for.)
What is very worrying is the Parliamentary arithmetic. I imagine that Boris's camp is seeking ways of nullifying it. I still expect some sort of bold move if necessary.
