It's quite endearing to see you're still clinging on to and peddling this 3yo Brexiter trope that the EU will fold and 'give us a deal as they need us more than we need them etc etc etc'. Bless...

Unlikely though. As much as I would like it to happen for the comedy value of seeing Johnson's face, it's very unlikely that there will be a no confidence vote as soon as he takes office of PM, the Guakeward squad are far more likely to hold fire until nearer the Brexit deadline. Johnson will try and save face in all this and let Parliament dictate events, so expect a no confidence vote and subsequent election in the Autumn, thus a viable reason for yet another Brexit extension...

I don't think you can look at the Euro polls in isolation or as some sort of benchmark regarding voting intentions, as they have always been seen as a vehicle for a protest vote, a free hit, thus leading to skewed results, and that applies to both sides of the Brexit divide. I also don't agree that the parties were split 50/50 in the Euros along Leave and Remain lines. It was clear that the Brexit Party was a vote for Leave, and likewise the LibDems/Greens and Welsh/Scots Nats were clearly a vote for Remain. As for the rest who voted Tory and Labour, you can't say for certain if they were Leavers or Remainers. What in effect you've got is a 3-way split, a third for a hardcore Brexit i.e. No Deal, and a third for a hardcore Remain i.e. Revoke, and the rest in the middle who would probably accept a softer Brexit, abut when push comes to shove, a majority of those would vote for Remain over No Deal, which backs up the 55 - 45% in favour of Remain that the long-term tracker polls are showing. > Btw it?s Loopy Lou not ?the loopy? It was a compliment, as in 'the Donald' or our very own self-appointed 'the fox'...

And for the loopy saying that the polls haven't changed, independent long-term tracking trend begs to differ...https://britainelects.com/polling/europe/

I've long though that Johnson is more likely to go for a 2nd ref than people realise, simply because it may be the only way to keep himself in power. It's very unlikely that he would win a GE, I also think he's at great risk of losing his own seat too, and he'll be aware of that. So offering a 2nd ref as a counter to Tory rebels voting him down might be the only card he can play to stay in power, No Deal v Remain...
