mushroom: "this week Mr Corbyn was gifted a chance to table a motion of no confidence, and he declined it." - What with all the nazis in the party and assorted other loonies, Lib non dems will pick up the moderate remoaners and Brexit will pick up the leavers, Cob knows he'd get hammered so the last thing he wants is a GE. So basically hardly any of the HOQ wants one. The next GE will be in 2022.
I think the next election will be long before 2022.
Thursday’s by election could cut the government’s effective majority to 1.
So regardless of brexit, it’s hard to see a government surviving for another 3 years what with further by elections, possible further defections etc.
This is a period of political turbulence. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are two elections before 2022.
At least.

//if he loses a no-confidence vote it's not up to him. //
the house is closed until 3rd September. when they return there's practically no time for business before the conference season closes it again until the 2nd week in October.
can't see there being any time for the business of government, never mind a vote of no confidence. Mr Corbyn had his chance and he blew it.

//...it's quite possible to govern with no majority it just means more cooperation and compromise.//
You have to be careful with cooperation and compromise, Tora. It is Mrs May's relentless pursuit of compromise (for which read "we're leaving but we're not really leaving") which led to the current fiasco. There can be no "compromise" when it comes to leaving the EU. We're either in it or we're not. Any alternative to the Lisbon Treaty will simply be membership by any other name (as the the famous "Withdrawal Agreement" attests). I'm still waiting to find out what compromise would have been negotiated had the electorate voted 52:48 to remain.
