An outright opportunity to have a general election

And he abstains from it.

The whole no deal thing is irrelevant. If he believes that his government will win the election as his supporters do then whether the bill passes or not is irrelevant.

The majority of labour voters will definitely look at this and ask why after given the opportunity to get into power that he did not take it.

There is no majority for no deal anyway and it simply will not be passed through by government.
