This would create a constitutional crisis beyond belief.
Andrew Neill on Politics live likened it to Charles 1st and his attitude to Parliament.

The speaker has I understand ruled it out and that Parliament will get its say.

Is this what they mean by talking back control, their control, not the whole elected Parliament.

What an idiot.

And a minority government at that, ludicrous!

The speaker
claims he will not allow it.

Saying something so dumb should rule him out of the race regardless of if he could do it or not.

The only way Brexit is going to work is if it's a compromise. You can't force a no deal just like you can't force overturning it.

i don't think we should discount anything. All the new PM has to do to force a no deal is to not request an extension, it doesn't require shutting down the government. Only the PM can request an extension.

Then he or she would face a vote of no confidence.
Risking losing that and more likely to lose it too.

Then having to hold a general election, if they ignore a parliamentary vote to go for an extension.

The EU would grant an extension for that purpose of a general election.
Parliament knows that.

Any PM trying to take that line of not then asking, I doubt would be PM for long and would tear not only the Conservative Party but Parliament apart too.

It would be sheer madness.
