No deal Brexit or Corbyn government?

Many people prefer no deal to JC in government

Either option will mean more downwards pressure on property prices

They haven't actually proposed seizing assets from anyone though, have they?

They have indeed - McDonnell has proposed confiscating company shares from shareholders and using the dividends to fund public spending.

Why is the WA not an option now that MPs are somewhat worried about those 2 options.
The votes before were pretty close weren’t they?
Could that not now get through?

No chance. Most MPs don't like the WA because it's Brexit. The minority of Leavers don't like it because it's BRINO. And Boris is committed to ABWA (Anything But the Withdrawal Agreement) so it's not going to be proposed again.

Would he need to get that through the commons and the lords?

I believe we’re getting a demonstration at the moment that one person can not dictate policy.

Isn’t a version of it going to be proposed due to the kinnock amendment that got through?

Did you see gove say he would vote for it?

We don’t have to settle for Jeremy Corbyn or Boris Johnson

The growing volatility of British politics is good news for those of us who want centre parties to hold the balance of power

Unless a full Brexit is implemented the UK is not a proper democracy. In that scenario I don’t care if Corbyn or a Tory remainer is in power - I won’t feel like I have any part of this society.

I didn’t want any negotiations to take place with the EU in the first place, other than individual details such as minimising issues at the border. My Article 50 letter would have advised that we were leaving in 2 years and trading on WTO terms indefinitely. If the EU wanted to consider a basic Canada style FTA feel free to let us know.

I doubt it is going to happen but right now my preference would be a one term only Brexit party government. They are the only party I would trust to actually take us out of the EU properly (as opposed to some form of pretend Brexit where we stay attached to the EU in some form of non voting associate membership as Mrs May seemed to want). I would also trust Farage to reform/close down the House of Lords, sort out the BBC and instigate a sensible immigration system.

We all have our influences but actually the fear about Corbyn seems to get downplayed as far as I'm concerned. I'm not convinced other Labour MPs will be able to keep him in check and will likely get deselected if they do.

What about other parties, after all Labour do not have a majority?

Corbyn will strike a deal with the SNP.

And would still not have a majority.
