Another candidate put forward could bring attraction to this idea.
A change only to bring about a general election and halt a no deal brexit on 31st October by seeking an extension until after said general election.

If MPs are serious about stopping no deal unless it has the voters consent.

Then this is a way out.
Refusing to tolerate for a period of weeks only, even Corbyn as PM is perhaps hasty.
This could stop a no deal scenario, and get a general election.
Where Lib Dems can canvass to remain.
Labour will have to decide for remain or leave as our stance.
Johnson or the Cons. can present his no deal at any cost to the voters.

This isn't as daft an idea as it at first sounds actually.

The other proposal put forward was to have the greens as PM with an all women cabinet. I mean, what planet are these people on really. Does that strike anyone as having the best interests of the nation at heart. She even suggested wee Nicky for the cabinet and she isn't even an MP

That was a badly planned and presented idea I agree.
Very sexist too.

Personally I think Corbyn as caretaker is a great idea, except I don't believe the lib dems.... when push comes to shove they always side with the Tories, they will on no deal too no matter how remain they say they are.

He wants rid of the backstop, that's not going to happen so back to square one...it's not a question of a majority vote, even those who voted yes don't want no deal :/
Look at any stat you want. If he thinks fir one min the EU are going to fold on that he's more stupid than I feared.

Nope

They did not vote to leave with a deal, as that was not on the ballot

They voted to LEAVE, not Leave with a deal, just Leave

Many thought we would leave on 24 June 2016...

The voters voted to leave with No Deal

Yes I've seen that given as an excuse by the ERG.. and only a very small percentage of voters I'm sure wanted a cliff edge brexit. You can not in all seriousness expect me to believe all yes voters did so in anticipation of no deal...

Part of me wants them to get their way. But if things go wrong as they will I'd like them prosecuted

With a government and opposition both so abysmal, we are pretty doomed...even the smaller parties are car crash , Caroline Lucas was quite rightly dismantled for asking for a cross party women only group to stop Brexit, and the Lib Dems seem to have gone backwards ...oh well, hang on to your hats I can't actually bring myself to worry about it all, what will be will be now

The opposition haven't even been given a chance have they, he's made a reasonable time limited proposal to end the prospect of no deal... What's the problem?

a chance? they have been in opposition since the ref vote? how much longer do they need?

I just heard Jeremy say he will do everything in how power to stop a no deal Brexit, step down mate and give it to someone the country can actually get behind would be a start

To be fair, unicorns don't exist. The next labour leader that stepped up as acceptable would just be another tory-lite, which are the only folks that wouldn't be smeared and lied about in the same way Corbyn has.
