You are right he won't resign as he will not have done the only thing he wants to do by then.

Can she "announce" a snap election without winning a parliamentary vote on it first?

Apparently not, but Corbyn has previously stated that Labour wouldn't oppose repealing the FTPA. Remains to be seen whether that changes of course.

She challenged the other parties to vote in favour of it tomorrow; "put up or shut up". No way any of them disagrees.

She'll move for a vote which requires a 2/3rds majority under the ftpa, labour already previously indicated they are ready for an election


Labour would have to vote against or abstain which is political suicide

Hey guys, remember when you kept saying that the election is 'four years away' and that Brexit will be finished before the next general election?


You're loving morons.

I'll be honest, I didn't think she'd actually do it

consider it a shortening of Labour's time in the wilderness from 8 more years to just 5 more years, I guess

She can announce as PM and leader of the Conservative party that she intends to hold a GE, and will then go to Parliament to vote to agree.

Is there even a remote possibility that labour hasn't planned for this eventuality? I don't buy the "no advanced planning" at all.
