he would have that sinoti could so i suppose we are looking at october the 14th. tony blair was saying that an election would be an elephant trap for labour, how do you see that? tony blair has a good point there. one of the ways of stopping a no—deal brexit would be simply under the fixed term for two thirds of mps to say i do not want an election. on that basis, borisjohnson could not go ahead. if they wanted to guarantee a new deal, that is the way to go. however, opposition parties cannot go around rejecting an election. labour have been calling for an election for two yea rs. to calling for an election for two years. to turn around now and say we do not want one, which putjeremy corbyn in a difficult position. in terms of, the rebel alliance as you call it, they publish this bill, it will seek a three—month extension u nless will seek a three—month extension unless there is ideal to brexit, do you think they have the numbers to get it through? i think it will be tight. obviously they would not be going ahead unless they thought they had the numbers. ass
