Something tells me you're going to go missing again around the election result.

Not so sure. They would have known Remainers would pull this stunt and would know that it would work due to the treacherous scum masquerading as Conservatives. No surprise there. Johnson knows that he did not have a working majority and would have to fight an election sooner rather than later.

So they forced this all now, knowing it will lead to an election.

They get to clear out the dead-wood from their own back-benches and when the election campaign starts, everybody singing from the same song-sheet. As opposed to Labour with one eye on the Lib-Dems attracting their Remain membership whilst their tribal northern voters no longer fall into line like they have done for decades.

And getting ripped to pieces over changing their stance from Leave to Remain.

Nah. This has all been gamed. Why on earth would the Tories have not anticipated events of the last couple of days?

I think the following will happen:

The no no-deal bill will pass.
A general election will be held.
It will be a hung parliament.
Nothing will be able to be done.
All the MP's will continue to claim expenses, wages, cheap food and booze and the electorate, as always, will moan (me included).

How does that famous saying go?....'first they laugh at you'.

Johnson's a lefty heart-breaker and while he's far too milk toast for me it's still fun to watch.

Yes, it was well understood in respect of the information available at the time. That included an unequivocal statement that leaving would come with a deal. How many times does this have to be stated for goodness sake. Perhaps some people didn't care whether there was going to be a deal but that is what was promised and what was voted upon. There may well have been a significant group that would not have voted for a no-deal Brexit, that cannot be known as it was never tested.
