If this happens, surely the next course should be a referendum or general election? What else is even possible?

They'll push for an election, yes. If Boris wins (and current polling suggests he will) it's game over for Brexit. Also for the NHS, worker and environmental protection, and everything paid for out of (slashed) taxes.

It's a collection of statements made by prominent remain-supporting politicians. Three minutes and one second long.

Here's a collection of statements made by leave campaigners, for balance.

Is it time for that semi-regular reminder that the people who stopped the UK leaving the EU were the ERG and the DUP?

Of course, Leavers don't do facts.

The right hand side of each of those images has been bought upon us because of remain-supporting politicians plotting to thwart Brexit. Were it not for them, the left hand side statements would have been shown to be correct and we'd already be out of the EU, and rid of the continued debilitating uncertainty to our economy.

The huge majority of politicians voting against the deals were Labour, Liberal, and SNP politicians, who are - as you know - NOT members of either the ERG or DUP. Like most remainers, you seem incapable of recognizing the truth.

The truth being that if the people who claimed to want to Leave and were supposed to be supporting the Government to do it (the ERG and DUP) had voted for the deal that was on the table we would have already left.

True, but those are opposition parties and are therefore expected to vote against damaging legislation proposed by the governing parties.

OTOH the ERG and DUP are respectively members of the party in government and in a confidence and supply arrangement with the government and would be expected to vote in favour of government legislation, especially when that legislation gives them what they claim to want, Brexit.

Is it that point in the thread where it has to be pointed out that none other than Boris Johnson voted against May's deal?

Ah, but the deal that Boris Johnson negotiated is fundamentally different in every possible way from Theresa May's deal. and not just a mild re-hashing of it as the Remoaner press would have us believe.

Is the push for an election any different to the push last time? Can the other parties oppose it again? Would they be likely to?

As I understand it that one opened the way for a default hard Brexit on Oct 31st. This one would be within an extension period.

However, it's fair to say that my comprehension of what's going on seems to get less every day

They opposed it last time because of the increased possibility of crashing out without a deal on Oct 31st - basically, they didn't trust Johnson not to do that. It's more likely they'll agree to an election this time, I think, but still not certain.

Boris Johnson speaking last month: “What we will certainly do is ensure that Parliament has plenty of time to debate Brexit."
