What would happen if Boris got a big paddy on and just quit after hypothetically losing the vote on the stop No Deal bill, and Labour refusing to take the bait on a no confidence vote, thus allowing him no election with or without the ousted rebels? As far as I know there's no formal Deputy PM role, so is it a party matter and a case of the Tories voting someone in to a caretaker role? If so how long does this take, and what can happen under their purview? Would this be a possible mechanism to block intervention in No Deal? How much can the Government or Parliament do without an incumbent PM? Or is there some constitutional convention that covers this? | |
