Early General Election

[grassroots]

PM announced a GE. No surprise to me they are in a strong position .
Lights the fuse and stands back .

Any predictions as to which party will form the next government ,providing of course the HOCs votes a two third majority tommorow .
Let's keep the thread " Civil ".

Can't disagree with her tactics, some big issues out there. I've always said she has no mandate for what she is doing (aside from Brexit) so I guess I can't complain that she is asking for one. Will also precipitate the post defeat resignation of Corbyn with the potential for stronger opposition.

With labour in total disarray I have been expecting this.
The tories will more than likely increase their overall majority, and thereby neutralise the current assumed power of the `SNP to influence votes in parliament.

The one good thing from my point of view is that the Labour Party will hopefully get rid of Corbyn in defeat.

They're saying an increased Tory majority would end her current dependence on her hardline backbench MP's to get Bills etc through...Which could well mean we wind up with a 'Soft Brexit'.

Don't kid yourself, a bigger Tory majority just means more austerity, more cuts, prosperity for the few, tough times for the majority.

The really sad thing is on present performance the Tories should have a popularity rating somewhere below bubonic plague, but Labour currently do not have a leader, someone who commands attention and respect, Labour's policies have much merit but delivery and putting those policies forward is virtually non-existent.

Have always voted throughout my adult life, couldn't vote for a Tory under any circumstances that I can forsee, but currently who do I vote for?

Out of curiosity, how much money is this new election going to cost ?

I too have done the same, however, i am seriously thinking that I may vote Tory as I just don't know who should get my vote and there is no way I will abstain. Perhaps I will just *******ize my ballot paper. I am thinking there are a lot of people out there who are in the same quandary. Who gets our vote?. . .quite a pickle really

There's always money available when it suits Tory interests, I hope for a miracle, but can only see more of the same, don't be old, sick or poor, don't wish for equal opportunity or reward for effort, the only thing that counts in this country is the size of your bank balance, those with will be okay, those without will struggle.

Right The MPs have voted in favour of a GE on June 8th . Bring it on .

[Hamble]

May's revenge!
Omg a stroke of genius....

Corbyn " I was elected unlike the PM".

Sturgeon " I want another indi"

The Brit press ...no rest for the wicked.

The electorate will decide , let's hope they choose a government that will get the best for Britain out of britex , a leader for Britain , and not a government lead by a person who can't even spell the word leader. Or a party in disarray .
