> This is exactly what should have been called weeks ago, yet there is resistance from Labour.

Well Labour and other party members abstained from a proposal from the prime minster to hold an election and it required 2/3 of MPs, but that never happened.

Because they wanted BoJo to get the extension first, an election without the extension has the same effect as prorogation,that is no-one at the helm on the 31st October so default is no deal Brexit.

More pragmatically each party is trying to get the timing that would be the most in their interest.

Labour is trying to get in power, first and foremost.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) they are currently so left wing that they are scaring most moderates away.
