Because what people think and the national interest aren't the same thing.

So only one side gets to decide the "national interest" and not the majority? So much for being in a democracy.

Corbyn and the Labour party are running scared from an election.

But usually families keep their rows and disagreements in house but obviously he is was very intent on going public and causing maximum political damage to his brother.
It reminds me of the Miliband brothers.

Nope. It's obvious, they don't want one before 1st Nov as they know they will lose. If they were confident of winning why not have it on Oct 15th?

I don't agree with that analysis.
At the next election if a party includes in their manifesto that they will leave the EU on a certain date with or without a deal and wins with a majority.
Then we will leave and there will be nothing the rest of parliament can do about it.

Of that you are right but the Conservatives want to have a general election held before October the 31st to play into their clear political Brexit narrative but l doubt now that any general election is going to be held before October 31st as both parties continue to play their political games in parliament.

They think they can stop brexit but has repeatedly been said before on here one parliament cannot bind another.
When a new goverment is elected they can throw out the no deal bill and leave with no deal in they wish and have a majority.

Because they think they it's better for their chances if they hold it after Nov 1st or at least in a better position after a No Deal law passes which the Tories would have to promise to then revoke in an election pledge.
