I don't know the time necessary but I read somewhere that a VONC would have had to have been called before the recess to enable a debate on the date they return (but don't know if that's correct).I'm just running the dates through in mind but if he calls a vote of no confidence on the first day parliament sits that's 5th September (rumours are Boris will call for a ge on the 4th anyway)
But assuming he calls for a vote on the 5th... The house debates and votes on the 6th
Assuming the motion of no confidence carries the government then have 14 days in which to form new alliences to secure a majority
Assuming that fails we are on September 20th... And then an election is called ... This takes 6 weeks therefore it's November and we have already left with no deal
What I don't get is why Boris would call an election before Brexit and I suspect Corbyn wants to wait until after Brexit to call a VONC.
