It won't stop anything and will be even worse because the gov can then just self no confidence and call Labour cowards to boot.
If the Tories vote to say that they have no confidence in their ability to govern then Labour shouldn't be worrying about being called nasty things because they've got plenty of poo poo to throw at the government.

If you, as an opposition party, are so afraid of an election that you literally vote against it happening you might as well just dissolve the party right now. At that point it's just over. There's no coming back from that lack of confidence and public humiliation.

It's just being realistic. Labour agreeing to an election now would be stupid. There's like a 0.5% chance they won't be as totally shambolic in 2020. An election in 2017 has the chances of being the worst result for Labour since the '30s.

To be clear: you think that Labour would vote for the government in the event of a no confidence vote designed to trigger an election under the FTPA?

It really isn't. Considering how awful the current government is, Labour voting to keep them in power would be hosed for a generation.

So she's trying for (and is probably likely to get) a large personal mandate.

At this point Labour might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb and go full-bore "gently caress BREXIT" and see if they can pick off a few seats.
