Does anyone know how often no confidence votes can happen? Could there be one every week?

My guess is there will be an election somewhere between 7th Nov 2019 and 7th May 2020 anyway as the current situation of a majority of 1 is not viable
Hammond has implied he would. I am not sure how many would if it happens.

I wasn't saying that Boris has any other option than accepting a potential GE if a no confidence vote passes, was saying he would be very dumb calling elections on his own initiative (as May did in the pass).

Originally posted by CryingSheep View PostThat would be less smart than when May asked for a GE (and that was really, really reallyyyy stupid)! Right now he as a majority, very very slim and probably not manageable but still he has it. At this point in a general election Tories would struggle to be the most voted party, leave it alone getting anything close to a majority!!!

The anti no-dealers will be focusing on legislative routes, without changing the administration, I reckon.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThe fun scenario is Johnson loses the VONC. Parliament install another PM and then hold a VONC leading to a GE and in the election period there is an anti No Deal PM. Can't remember if there is a need for legislation to delay Brexit date.
In that scenario, Johnson remains PM. Right?
It seems to me that the hurdle is not so much the law (no, legislation isn't needed to request an extension, that is Crown Prerogative), but agreement about a coalition that can demonstrate confidence. If Corbyn isn't onside, it cannot happen. Even if he is onside, Cummings thinks that won't be enough, but we'll see about that (I suspect he's wrong on that detail).
