What's to stop the following?
1. MPs pass bill tomorrow they think will mean Boris Johnson has to ask for A50 extension by October 19.
2. Having secured that, they give him his election for October 14.
3. Parliament prorogued Monday next week. Late Monday BJ moves election date.

He moves it so that the end of prorogation runs into the dissolution period without a break (dissolution: 25 working days before a GE)
4. 19 October arrives. BJ does nothing.
5. MPs beyond incandescent but Parliament isn't sitting until the GE, now on the other side of Brexit Day

6. Only recourse might be the courts. But can they really reach a ruling between October 20-31 in the middle of a General Election. It will go all the way to the Supreme Court and maybe the ECJ
7. If we get to 31 October for *any* reason, we're out out. Game over.
