Here would be a pertinent place to demonstrate how the UK system of appointing judges is far superior to that in the US;

GIVEN judgment for application of Miller v Advocate General for Scotland names Sir John Major KG CH, PM and Tory leader 1990-1997, an intervener; his testimony provided the SCOTUK conventional reasoning to derogate the duration of HRM BoJo's prorogation in 2019;

59. The  unchallenged  evidence  of  Sir  John  Major is clear. The  work on the Queen's Speech varies according to the size of the programme. But a typical time is four to six days. Departments bid for the Bills they would like to have in the next session. Government business managers meet to select the Bills to be included, usually after discussion with the Prime Minister, and Cabinet is asked to endorse the decisions. Drafting the speech itself does not take much time once the substance is clear. Sir John's evidence is that he has never known a Government to need as much as fiveweeks to put together its legislative agenda.

and he like Helen Mountfield QC has been providing con law "advice" to political parties.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.

there'a all sorts of discussion about what might or might not be done, what might or might not be legal.

Right now, nothing would surprise me and almost anything will disappoint me.

My sense is that, given the UK is in uncharted territory constitutionally, all parties involved are free to make novel suggestions. Boris is certainly making full use of this scope. So what is wrong with Parliament voting no confidence in the PM personally, but not following the form set out in the FTPA and being clear they are not voting for a new election? That done they could vote to have the Speaker of the House send a letter to the EU on behalf of Parliament, the UK Sovereign, requesting an extension of the exit date. Meanwhile they could see if they could agree asking the Queen to appoint a new PM or, if they could agree on a candidate, vote confidence in that candidate and then ask the Queen to appoint that person PM. Almost any positive action beats doing nothing.

"It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Meanwhile, Johnson is apparently going to try the same "divide and rule" strategy of trying to negotiate with individual European leaders, in the belief that what hasn't worked for the last two years will suddenly work now: Brexit: Boris Johnson's plan to bypass Brussels for new deal

Boris Johnson is to attempt a last-ditch charm offensive on EU leaders to get a Brexit deal over the line, after delivering his proposals for a new withdrawal agreement to Brussels as early as the end of this week.

With EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier viewed in Downing Street as a stickler for rules who will be hard to shift from the deal struck with Theresa May, Mr Johnson is keen to speak with key European leaders who may be ready to show flexibility ahead of the crunch Brussels summit on 17 October.

[...]

News that negotiator David Frost has finalised a legal text of the UK proposals - said by a senior government source to be "game changing" - emerged as ministers attending cabinet admitted that they were not absolutely sure what the PM plans to do if his hopes of a deal fall flat.

I guess they'll find out. The EU hasn't budged on its "negotiate with the official negotiator" policy, and there doesn't seem any reason why they'd start now.
