No. The Tories and DUP probably wouldn't have been able to form a government with the current numbers but since they are already in one it won't get taken down unless they actually lose a vonc.

but they need to lose by 2/3 majority??

No. You need to pass a Vote of No Confidence by 2/3rd majority first and then another bunch of poo poo has to happen. Some of which isn't really real, but a gentlemen's agreement sealed by handshake in the late 19th century.

The Fixed-Term Parliaments Act says you need 2/3 to trigger an election but you can bypass it by repealing the FTPA or saying "this bill specifically ignores the FTPA and causes an election" or whatever because our parliament is made of string and pocket lint.

It's worth remembering that no matter how much they claim to hate Corbyn ideologically they really are afraid of the current tory party financially.

Corbyn may make capitalists work harder for their money but they still want to make money.

But apparently as long as you are on the right side on brexit we'll take you.

Well, I'm sorry, but no.

It doesn't matter if we already have others as bad. You don't make bad things better by adding more bad things. It doesn't matter that he will increase our numbers in parliament by ONE. He thinks me and people like me are a lower class of human. I will not share a party with him.

I know you only get to do this once. I know I am ripping up almost my entire social life here. I know I am causing a lot of people a lot of organisational difficulties. And I'm sorry for all that. But there are some principles I will not compromise.

Trump is smart enough to ensure that every one of his public appearances is in a position of strength. He's never sat in a room with several hundred jeering inbred sociopaths who sense blood in the water, or gone out to make a speech without a pre-packaged crowd of supporters. He may be more of a mess than Boris personally, but he's a lot better at not appearing weak. It did in May, and there's a good chance it will do in BoJo.

It’s good because it’s bad for the tories and makes Johnson look dumb, but it’s not a seismic event, it just moves the needle a little. It’s now a minority government, but with the usual asterisks.

We'll leave with no deal and have to set up a trade deal with the US. Next year we have a GE and Labour win by a landslide after mass rioting. Sanders wins next years election, starting a socialist pact between the UK and USA that deals with the environmental catastrophe by building a fake moon made of recycled plastic to permanently eclipse the sun, although this is hit by a meteor and sends tons of radioactive molten plastic raining down across the planet.
