Oh I can see that being his plan, but plans don't always come off. Parliament is back for a week before the recess and there is every chance the opposition get their act together for a vote of no confidence. And even if Boris does call an election immediately after the Queens speech, does Parliament close down immediately?. I'm not sure, and remember Bercow will likely do anything to avoid a no deal so expect some creativity from him.

I don't think Boris is as in control of things as he likes to thinks he is.

Next week is important but it will take something special to stop.
When they call a GE it gets suspended for them to canvas ect and stops the outgoing party putting stuff through to affect the next goverment.
The sitting goverment just gets on with it till the result of the GE comes through.
No new buisness , votes ect as by the time they are passed into law , a new make up of parliment could be in place making it a complete waste of time.
The queens speech is normally debated for 5 days afterwards so that leaves a week before brexit, for anybody to try and get something on the table and passed not normally enough time and the goverment has stuff they could fill that time slot easily to make it even harder.
If its not stopped next week ,he has played his cards well, saying that as casual viewer of it i was saying this well back in this thread so you would think full time MPs would have been ready and waiting for it.
I really fear we are going to get a Boris goverment if he deals with the brexit party in the right way to win an election.
Hope he balls it up, like i say despite my still brexit supporting views i see him as a far bigger danger.

Nope, it’s 5 weeks but that also includes the shut down for the Conference season, so in reality it is only 4 or 5 days.....

Johnson is on the run from Brittsh Democracy, his move today will now further galvanize the remain camp. And in coming days I suspect sensible Tory MPs will abandon their sentry positions and rise up against this buffoon they have installed.

woah ! steady on.

I didn’t see anything from anyone on either side of the debate defending the guys racist posts and considering there were at least 2 moderators on the thread while he was spouting his drivel it wouldn’t have been long (& it wasn’t) before he was booted.

Not all those who voted leave are racists, If you meant something else then fair enough but thats not how I read that part of your post and I take offence at any such insinuation.

Just been reported that Johnson asked for Parliament to be suspended for 35 days! Thought it was just a week or 2.

Parliament would have been in recess for around 4 weeks anyway. It always does at this time of year so everybody can have their party conferences. So effectively, it's only about 4 or 5 days more I think. So the question is why do it. All he's done, in my opinion, is give everybody ammunition to have a go at him and encourage his opposition to unify against him.
