what a damn mess.

British ONTDers, what are the chances a no confidence vote would actually succeed? I'm assuming the Tories are all on side with this plan ergo they're totally cool with hijacking the government for No Deal, but I'd love to be wrong.

Problem is that even the Tories who hate him would rather back him and keep their own jobs rather than not back him, possibly go to a general election and then potentially lose their place as a memberof parliament. Everyone's so self-serving in government and that's why it's so fucked.

There are two potential hurdles - one is whether they'd get enough Tories to do it (it's possible but just as possible their self-interest would win out). The other is that there's opposition to the alternatives too and the risk is that rather than going 'come on it has to be anything but no deal, don't worry about who your preferred option is' people wouldn't back whoever's stepping up to say they'd replace him.

it's possible- the Tories only have one majority so it wouldn't take many Tory rebels or if the DUP would stand up against them (lol) but the problem is there is definitely some Labour MPs that support Brexit and it's unsure if they would follow the party line.

Also I feel that most Tories would rather protect themselves and keep their jobs than actually growing a backbone and going against the party
