Brexit first, then an election, with a fait accompli. Even if Labour wins, the UK will have already crashed out of the EU. The brexiteers will have gotten their way, even if they end up losing power for doing so.

“we’ll dissolve Parliament and have an election between 1-5 November — and that means no time for legislation”. Flippin’ ‘eck.
