The purpose of a "caretaker" government is expanding. The original idea was that, following a successful vote of no confidence against the Johnson government, Mr Corbyn would have a shot at forming a caretaker government.

This would have explicit/limited purpose of applying to Brussels for an extension to Article 50 (to stop no deal on October 31st) then calling general election. Both acts to be done in matter of weeks. This is the way the SNP is moving. But LDs don't want Mr Corbyn as caretaker.

Other "caretaker" PMs have been mentioned, all leading "Remain" figures, from K Clarke to M Beckett. But now it's been suggested (see today's Times) that such a figure should not be a "caretaker" but lead a so-called "government of national unity".

This is a very different kettle of poisson. There's talk that, having secured a long extension to Article 50, a GNU would then plan for a 2nd referendum followed by a general election. This could see it in power for up to a year, as oppose to the caretaker's couple of weeks.

People on this thread calling this a coup! This is what a Vote of no confidence legally does. It isn't a coup in any way whatsoever. Also shame on those suggesting violence in response.

No one mentioned revoke. If you don't want insults don't support damaging this country with a no deal Brexit.
