Is May currently the PM? Did May call a GE? keep drinking the cool aid.
IIRC many of the ERG including JRM, did eventually compromise and reluctantly vote for May's deal.
If there is an election, there will be a manifesto. Depending what is in that manifesto, Tory candidates can decide if they want to stand up for it.

There ISN'T a deal on the table to accept or refuse. At most is a DELAY of just over a year. Anything that is supposed to happen on Nov 1st 2019, would happen anyway on Jan 1st 2021.
The hypocrites are the ones that say "no to no deal" when there isn't a deal as an alternative, and even said no to the Withdrawal Agreement.
How on earth can you say "no to no X", when there is no X? Just not possible.

No to No deal is a complete Red Herring.
It is Remain, an extension means nothing.
The Withdrawl Agreement has been comprehensively rejected by Parliament, no other deal is on offer.
An election is required in order to return a government that has a majority and united under a manifesto that promises to Leave with or without a deal.
It is a massive risk, another hung parliament is very probable.
The difference this time around however is.
a) the Brexit Party
b) a resurgent Lib Dems

Just been confirmed on Sky news that if Hammond, or anyone, votes against the government they will lose the whip and will not be allowed to stand as a conservative candidate in an election, regardless.
