It’s a pretty far fetched idea but I don’t see it happening, nor should it. If the PM looses a vote of no confidence AND parliament stops a delayed GE, it is much more logical to call a GE before Oct 31st, so sorry Jeremy.
All options are possible including no Brexit chaos reigns.
By sitting on the fence for the past three years Corbyn has forfeited any right, not that he's up to it, to take a leading role in governing this country.
What a disappointment he turned out to be - some of us gave him the benefit of the doubt for far too long.
But then again, he was never an EU enthusiast so don't know why I'm disappointed in him, what else could we expect?
He is not allowed to stand up and sell this idea to MPs and the country. How could anyone think that this is a good idea? Except those who weald the power behind the scenes.
It may well be the only option open to those who wish to stop a "no-deal" scenario coming about.
It was being stated on the BBC news yesterday that the earliest a General Election could be held if it were announced today would be the first of November. By that time if Boris (The Buffoon) Johnson gets his way we may have "crashed out" of the EU simply on the bases that Article fifty and the extension had run its full term.
However, a vote of confidence carried in the House of Commons followed by a temporary government of national unity while Article fifty was extended again could resolve the above problem.
I believe that if Jeremy Corbyn advised that such an MP as Phillip Hammond would be Chancellor with Jo Swinson as Home secretary that combination could form the basis of a very good temporary administration.
The above would only be in existence while Article fifty was extended and perhaps a firm commitment drawn up to a General Election followed by a second referendum if it was felt that was still required.
What is there to lose in the above?
Anyway, I am off to the office for a few hours (hopefully), I will look back in on this thread with interest when I get back.
Sorry Grandad - but you just do not 'get it' do you- the vast majority of people in this country, just do NOT trust Corbyn, and even more so in such dire circumstances. Totally agree with Riverwalk's words above.
The process needs someone else, more 'neutral' - for it to succeed. JC does not, and will not, command the trust and respect of a large % of the Labour Party- and practically none from outside. It is really essential that you begin to get your head around it I'm afraid.
Corbyn seems to be doing his best to gee up enemies and alienate potential allies.
What he could have done - rather than promise other opposition leaders he would be a temporary PM only long enough to secure a Brexit delay to accommodate a general election - was promise he would be a temporary PM long enough to oversee a Brexit referendum.
And only after a referendum would he go to the country in an election.
That might have scared Johnson, reassured EU leaders and persuaded other opposition leaders his priority is to stop a no-deal Brexit.
But what Corbyn has done will leave many scratching their heads about his true motivation.'
Lib Dems are refusing to vote with Jeremy Corbyn in a vote of no confidence against Boris Johnson to stop his no-deal Brexit
They are prepared to let the Prime Minister pursue his no-deal Brexit rather than work with the Labour leader The LibDems who backed all the Tories Austerity measures
I don't think we'd notice much difference...drifting along with no-one at the helm..in a state of chaos..rudderless.....it was just be a different face spouting off..he's as insubstantial as everyone else.
We're in a state of limbo at the moment....waiting for some disaster to happen, so we can put aside Brexit and turn our attention to something else.
