    We have fixed term parliaments now. General elections cannot be called because a leader feels the wind is blowing in the right direction. The only way the five year term can be broken is by agreement of two-thirds of MPs, or a no confidence vote.

    so if half + 1 MP vote to pass a vote of no confidence we get a GE.

    DC could call a vote of no confidence in his own government, wouldn't even be bad publicity if he called it "securing a new mandate in the post Brexit world to give credence to the negotiation", it wouldnt be hard to pass, if the Tories voted for it.

    don't discount a GE just yet...
