It's pretty satisfying watching Boris fail in everything he tries. He had zero new ideas and somehow expected a different result. Hope the rest of them can sort this out and put this disastrous idea behind them.
There is only so long that the Civil Servants that are having to plan, scrap plans then replan a multitude of scenarios, all at short notice can take this.

He has started off with an 0 and 3 record.
Just like Glen Gulutzan.
Can someone photoshop Boris throwing a hockey stick?
I am sure I will get plenty of in-depth analysis when my Economist "arrives" tomorrow, but for those familiar with British procedure... what now? Will BoJo put May's exit deal back on the table (a) and (b) might it pass now because it seems like the best that can be done on short notice? With Parliament in charge and no election, will they get a postponement and have an election in the meantime? Is there a chance they cut the Gordian knot with another referendum?
Wouldn't the Cdn government fall after this. Are these not consider non-confidence motions? Isn't our system based on theirs?
Well, I would think in a normal situation the PM would certainly resign, but I don't think it is mandatory. I hope somebody here is familiar with parliamentary arcana and can weigh in. I would think they can try to carry on as a minority.

There is no party or coalition of parties willing or capable of forming a government.
In 2010, when there was a Con/Lib coalition, they passed the fixed term Parliament Act. Meaning that the PM needed to command a 2/3 parliamentary majority to call a snap election.
The opposition has not moved for a vote of no confidence and the PM can’t get the votes he needs to call an election.
Some people might describe this as a cluster####.

Who will profit the most off Brexit? It is probably the same ones pulling the strings of the Conservative party BoJo wing. Old video but still very relevant.
There is an article in Foreign Policy (see here: https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/08/29...liament-boris/) discussing why the Queen can't do anything about Brexit, but I truly do not understand the point of having a sovereign who is unwilling or unable to act because doing so would arguably cause a political crisis or the end of the monarchy itself (as the article suggests).
If the monarch only has theoretical power but no real power, then why does anyone pay any attention at all to her (or him)?
