I don’t understand the process. The government (or anyone in parliament?) needs a 2/3rd majority to call an election, but by making it into a bill it just needs one vote? Plus Lords approval?
Can anything/everything in parliament come back as a 1 vote bill?

If things don't change they remain the same. Its the basic law of the universe.

Are there any economic forecasts that paint brexit as a good thing?

When was the last time you met a Teacher/Lecturer that wasn't left of centre?

And how can it not be? As long as we have OUR £39 BILLION quid to spend on what we want to spend it on.

Nigel who? Havers?
Seems daft doesn't it? I guess this was a simple, one line question so not a lot to debate but it does seem to make the Fixed Term Parliament Act a bit redundant.

Article on Todays BBC: Brexit deal means ‘£70bn hit to UK by 2029'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50219036
an interesting headline I thought - so who published this report - National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) .
So I thought I'd look into who the NIESR are and how they're funded....... https://www.niesr.ac.uk/about-us - in the "our funders" section of their own website " the European Commission "
Shock horror.

You are confused/wrong!
To call an election outside the 5 year fixed term requires, a Bill has to be raised and, to pass, that Bill requires approval of 2/3rds of eligible Members. The difference between this new one and BoJo'd previous attempt is that Corbyn has agreed, so the Bill will pass. Last time, it failed to get 2/3rds because most of Labour abstained!
