Boris has decided that enough is enough, and has stated that he will try to call a general election for 12 December.
Unfortunately for him, there is one very large fly in his ointment; namely the Fixed Term Parliament Act (an absurd piece of legislation from the days of the Liberal/Tory coalition).
Under this act, the government needs a 2/3rds majority in order to be able to call a general election.
Can you guess what will happen children?
Yes, that's right, Labour will not vote for it next week.
What will happen then?
It seems that the government will go on strike, and do only the bare minimum (the Budget has already been pulled).
We really are through the looking glass here.
