The funniest political timeline

Dear Fate, I would like a pony, and also the following:

Johnson is made Prime Minister again, and then the investigation (due 26th of November) finds that he lied to The House Of Commons, he's excluded for 14 days, leading to a recall, and he loses his seat.

How *should* we be able to trigger an early election?

The UK has no mechanism for triggering a general election early that isn't dependent on the existing representatives choosing put themselves at risk.

If you were to institute a mechanism for triggering a general election that didn't involve representatives choosing to hold one, what would it be?

Mine would be to specify that if reputable polling institutions (either certified by the British Polling Council or the Electoral Council) found there was ¾ support for the question "There should be a general election" for a continuous period of one month then one should be held.

75% because it should only be only in very unusual circumstances where the government had gone very wrong, and continuous for a month to make sure that a couple of statistical anomalies didn't throw things off.

You?
