The EU is not a government but an amalgam of such. But then you don't want to know that.

Don't hold your breath.

For Germany's centre-right Die Welt, "the wafer-thin election result by only nine votes was a surprise, almost a shock, but it will give future EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen a decisive strategic advantage". A bigger victory would have required extra concessions to "right-wing populists and national conservatives", it says.

"The weak election result reflects one thing in particular: a heavily fragmented parliament in which all the factions have tasted blood."

Sounds ominous.

There may be a GE in the UK in the autumn, if the next Prime Minister cannot deliver...

Even boris should be able to deliver, considering he needs to do absolutely nothing. It is set in international law that you are out.
If anybody should want to delay exiting, an extension needs to be requested by the pm of UK.
Depending on his intentions for a delay it might be granted.

But in all likelihood, the UK is out by november 1.

If boris never had the intention of prorogation, why all this fuss? He has the advantage of knowing how strong an oppoisition he can expect from his own party. So actually he gains from todays experience.
