And because Boris Johnson doesn't want Brexit to happen during an election, he will either set election day before Brexit or get an extension to cover it
And my guess is that he wants to leave himself as many options as possible, so he'll have the election as soon as he can after summer. And the earliest is October 17th.
And every day Johnson leaves it without calling an election, his position grows weaker and worse. His government is crippled anyway, and from now on he's in constant crisis.
He can also hear what everyone is talking about. including the threat of being removed from office, which would be fatal to his credibility and make it impossible to resume the office again late.
For all these reasons, being unable to pass a budget, being so weak that parliament could remove him at will, he will seize the initiative and table a motion for a general election the first day back.
And if Shorty Cummings is worth anything, he'll give him the same advice.
