1) What's the point of a Vote of no confidence that can't win?
Because it's the only way to get Corbyn to support a #PeoplesVote in time before we crash out in 16 weeks or are forced to take May's #Brexit deal
A VoNC is a red herring, it will never succeed so it needs clearing

2) the Labour leadership have defined the sequence:
- vote down deal
- call for a GE (via a VoNC)
- call for #PeoplesVote
But the deal vote is postponed for 5 weeks, leaving about 10 before we leave.
The only way to "call for a GE" is via a vote of no confidence

3) and this may be difficult for some Labour supporters to accept:
- no one really believes that a Vote of No Confidence will *ever* succeed
- many do not believe Corbyn wants a #PeoplesVote
So the reason people are asking for a VoNC is simple. It's a red herring.

4) the Vote of No Confidence will never succeed, but Corbyn will not move to a #PeoplesVote until he has no reason not to.
Soubery, Cable, Sturgeon are calling for one because Labour will not move forward until it is called & dismissed.
That's it

5) "calling for a GE" is simply a game for the Labour leadership, they do not want a GE & certainly don't want to be in charge of #Brexit, who can blame them
But the other parties are just exposing that game by calling Corbyn's bluff

If you voted for Corbyn you might question if you really thought you were voting for smokescreens, ducking responsibility, overriding the members & political game playing as "a new kind of politics"
