General Election June 8th

The immediate managers do complain and instigate formal complaints, but the trust management who have introduced the private service, stop it going any further.

That's disgraceful. (genuinely) Something should be done about it, clearly.

But if they get a 40+ majority there will be a full term surely

Their own will turn against them after the disaster of no deal with the EU

I do not think that you have thought that through - why would Conservative MPs - no matter their disappointment on any policy bring the party down??

They may act to get rid of May - but why on earth would they do that in a way that would open the door to Labour getting into power?

Agree totally, thing is, the phrase about bolting horses and slamming stable doors springs to mind here. Another illustration of and inept and an incompetent leader me thinks.

Remember the amazement when Boris was made foreign secretary? Hardly greeted as an acclamation of May's competence - more like her trying to let him prove his incompetence.

Looks like a Conservative win is inevitable tomorrow, although the pollsters have got quite a few things wrong recently so we can but hope.

Either way, it's been a far more dignified and effective campaign from Corbyn than May, which seemed unlikely when the election was called. The left are in better shape than they have been for a few years, and the swingeing Tory cuts are coming under greater scrutiny. May's reputation has been badly damaged, and it wouldn't be a great surprise to see a leadership challenge before long.

Think the best we can hope for is that the young come out and vote in significant numbers, and the Conservatives don't get the greatly increased majority that they were expecting just a few weeks ago.

Absolutely this.

It should only be a neutral or cheaper cost to the tax payer.

Mate, you forgot to mention that the quality of the service should be at least no worst and preferably improved.

Not seen much discussion about it here, and I haven't heard May questioned on what she intends to replace it with, or indeed how, but the Conservative Party manifesto contains a pledge to abolish the Fixed-term Parliaments Act.

How on earth can anyone fall for that ?
