Labour has to act in its own interests and its supporters, an election now is for sure far from that,and Labour would rightly not be forgiven for opening the door to a Conservative govt with a greater majority from an election.
Not a chance would Labour, or indeed likely others parties vote for an election now.

if labour threw away the chance of getting in to government, it would destroy them as a party for decades. Not going to happen. Wasn't it only a few short months ago that labour were saying the government had no mandate without an election to trigger article 50? Can't have it both ways
