I have no clue about the English law surrounding the Parliament and the election rules.

Can a Prime minister do that in England ?

And what will be response from the Parliament ?

I also heard that some(didn't catch the name)would take it to high court, if this step was taken.

My thoughts
Poor Jim, STEED and other British/English member.

Jeremy Corbyn is meeting other opposition party leaders to discuss ways of averting a no-deal Brexit.

The Labour leader has outlined a plan to become caretaker PM after defeating the government in a no-confidence vote.

Tory Party chairman James Cleverly said Mr Corbyn was offering "chaos, delay and uncertainty".

The SNP, Liberal Democrats, Change UK, Plaid Cymru and Green Party have all accepted the invitation to meet Mr Corbyn and discuss his proposals.

The Labour leader also invited five Conservative MPs opposed to a no-deal exit, but none has said they will be attending.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage criticised those attending, saying they were "very out of touch with public opinion" and leaving the EU without an agreement was now "the only acceptable deal".

Soooo, Steptoe starts the ball rolling. If I were Boris I'd give all those of a treasonous nature a few days to crawl out from under their rocks to allow the public clear identification then call a snap election.

I've a feeling this would be the most entertaining election during my lifetime.

Watching SKY News and Nigel is back getting ready for the general election, sounds very much he has no faith or trusts Bojo to deliver brexit.

... or he just has too much time at his hands. Anyhow, its no bad idea to keep pressure on Johnson a bit, just to prevent him from getting tired one meter before the finishing line.

Bojo could loose that one MP listening on the radio last night one tory has had it with bojo and is thinking of leaving. We shall see how serious he is in the coming days and weeks.

That nameless one lusts for power and will do what it takes to get power.

As Aliens land in London and wipe out our politicians and declare they have saved us the voter from all that rubbish that could have got in the way of our lives. Three cheers for our new alien masters.

Hey we can hope you know.
