Those MPs who would force an early General Election in a bid to shape (or stop) Brexit might be missing something: if the new Prime Minister is so pro-Brexit that their opponents wish to bring the house down, it seems unlikely that the same Prime Minister would also be so ‘pro-Remain’ that they are happy to ask the EU27 for an extension of Article 50 while the UK goes to the polls. In other words, forcing a General Election to stop Brexit could just make no-deal inevitable.
