Yeah, voting for a general election right now would require significant support among Tory MPs to reach the threshold (which I think is two thirds of all MPs), and given current polling that would be tantamount to turkeys voting for Christmas. They're incompetent but they aren't idiots.

Common sense and preservation of dignity would both be valid reasons for the Tories to support an election, but given they cast both of those aside long ago they'd rather just save their skins and sit in a job for another two years whilst claiming an election would represent further instability.
