that’s pathetically dim - the govt doesn’t have anything like a majority and the job of the Commons is to scrutinize policy not rubber stamp ithttps://twitter.com/Channel4News/status/1183064127633285120 …

It is not the role of parliament to prevent the government from governing by blocking a general election for cynical reasons. It should either vote for an election or have a vote of no confidence. Many people are starting to detest the actions of our current parliament.

It's the role of parliament to do what's best for the country as a whole. The cynical reason BoJo wanted an election is so a no deal Brexit could slip through unchallenged. His minority government doesn't set the agenda.

This parliament has voted against everything and in favour of nothing (except the Brady amendment). We need an election to break the stalemate. The current situation is toxic.

An election won't do that. The issue is Brexit so a referendum would.

So we have 6 months of toxic uncertainty while a new referendum is organised that parliament has voted against and the government would be against. How will that happen ?

6 months to resolve an issue affecting the country for generations? Yes.

There is no mandate for it.
