I just hope the next election is a fight for the centre.

it’s gone bonkers

Hear hear

A Tory MP in a very safe resigns and we have a by election. Rabb would temporarily be PM unless he isn't elected in which case it would be my MP Sajid Javid (and he will be elected).

Do you think that in the name of democracy in a democratic election which was to enable the democratic view of the people those same people will be happy to have an unloved unelected man refusing to stand down?

If you believe the bookies (Conservative majority 4/11, Labour majority 16/1; and yes, bookies have been known to get it wrong), and the Tories stroll in to Downing Street, would Corbyn walk? A hugely unpopular Tory party, deeply divided, and yet he couldn't force them out. It'd be pretty damning. And if he didn't walk, would the anti Corbyn faction in the parliamentary party try to organise a heave against him? Given that he seems popular with the rank and file up and down the country, such a heave might not be advisable.

Jezz'll walk.
He's 70, he isn't going to hang around till he's 75 at the next election!
I'll think he'll go in spring.
Personally I hope he's replaced by someone with less "baggage" for the media to have a pop at and with policies slightly to the right ( slower change) , not particularly because I'm against radical change, I just think a slightly slower pace of change would be more electorally acceptable.

Interestingly.

I didn’t have a single candidate from any party knock on my door throughout the general election campaign.

And even more interestingly, 3 of the 4 main political candidates for Burnage didn’t even live in Manchester.

The Green Politician lived in London.

Seems like the right time to compare with last time. Here's the BM poll from 2017...

Tories +1%, Labour lost 11%, 6.5% to LibDems and some to BP/UKIP.

Sample size is smaller.

Make of it what you will...

Only Labour called here. Twice.

Speakers should be neutral.
It's common knowledge that he hates Brexit and his wife had a bollocks to Brexit sticker in her car.
It's also widely claimed that Brexit would in fact have been done and dusted if it wasn't for him.
Total twat.
