General Election June 8th

[Blue Til Death]

Great decision by May, one she will not regret, bring it on, hopefully a 100+ Tory majority, Parliament will not reject it because Labour cannot vote against it now and their hapless leader has already said he welcomes her decision, none of the other parties are significant enough to affect the two thirds majority needed to call an election now, under the fixed term rule..

Sturgeon will be put to sleep and Corbyn will have to piss off after the result, a win, win, even for Labour supporters in the long term..
Hopefully the Lib dems will be sent packing into complete obscurity too...! Happy Days..!

 

[Cheesy]

fuck off maggie shite, youve not got a fucking clue and are sucking at the shreds that trump feeds you... fucking desperate

You lefties can't help but get personal about things can you? Especially when you know you've got fuck all chance of a Labour government in the foreseeable future :-)

 

[cookster]

Good, end of Corbyn.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Never been a Tory but smart move by them, will win by a fucking landslide.

 

[SWP's back]

Couldn't have put it better....

No. That's why you usually post someone else's thoughts.

Exciting though isn't it.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Tim Farron talking about hard Brexit again, he's a comedy genius.

Nothing worse than a politician telling over 50 % of voters they didn't know what they were voting for.

 

[crazyg]

The more I think about this game election, the more I think Theresa May has been taken lessons from Erdoğan

She's done her cruciate ligaments? Sorry, that's Gundogan.

I normally try to go on holiday around 6 June, so this is a perfect opportunity for me do so. Now, where's Cheap Holidays.com

This will sort a lot of things out.

Labour to have any chance have to say Brexit ends.

They won't so they might suffer a extinction level event for them.

Up here, it will be seen as vindication of many of the view that labour under anything remotely resembling left wing will ever be elected again.

SNP call for second ref will be dependent on this result. A majority of seats will show the mandate is there. Another landslide and Indy ref2 cannot be denied.

Will remainders across the political
Divide unite behind a party to stop Brexit as s one off vote?

Will UKIP win seats?

I wonder if Farage will contest a seat?

I'm not wondering really. Of course the media hoor little **** will.

Exciting times.

you see what you want to see, im a realist not a leftie, maggie was a leader, may is just a disaster in waiting

Parliament can vote against it, it will take a 60% majority for it to go through which they do not have without the support from other parties. If they don't get that 60% they just go for a vote of no confidence which is a simple majority which they will easily get so GE whichever way.

Everyone is aware of that. But Labour have said before they'd support it and the Lib dems aren't going to say no.

The SNP may have a slight shudder but will run on another "vote us for a new Indy ref" and feel safe.

Many ukip voter I believe will vote Tory which is good for the Tories and Brexit.

Ah, got you :)

Though I have to disagree about May. I think she will turn out to be a good (maybe not great) PM for the country. It's about time we had one who was more substance over style.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Good, end of Corbyn.

I see the MP for Aberavon (Stephen Kinnock) has been posturing already.

(You heard it here first)

Bitter, aren't they?

Fucking hate the shite that goes on in the lead up tso an election, that's me giving the news a miss for the next few months.

The whole political system is fucked up and there is no sign of it getting any better, how a party pulling less than 35% of the vote can have a mandate to run the country is beyond me.

I'm a big believer that there should be a "No confidence" box on each election slip, if they did you would i suspect you would see the number of voters increase and they would be shown the distain the public have in them.

Bunch of cunts.

So would the "No Confidence" party be in Government then?

Less than two months this time which might make it less of a pain in the arse.

Why an election now? seems weird timing.

Perfect timing in my view - it is what the UK negotiating team will have wanted as they prepare to face off against the EU. Currently the EU leaders will have been preparing in the knowledge that the UK team are getting lots of noise and distraction from within Westminster. The UK needs to be able to play hardball with regards funding and other areas in the face of the EU stances - this GE will give them the mandate.

I just posted this in the Brexit thread but it is a fit for here as well:

Well done Prime Minister - an absolute game changer and holding a GE will strengthen the UK's negotiating position enormously

Really glad that I have not gotten around to answering your question yet Len - my response will be much more bullish now. We should all, IMO - whether leave or Remain voters - wish to celebrate that there is now clear evidence that Mrs May is absolutely committed to Brexit and has the capacity for determination - even ruthlessness in decision making. I say whether Leave or Remain voters because it now seems clear that we at leaving the EU so we should want the best for the UK and that those negotiating for us to have the strongest possible position.

All those poncy games being played by the likes of Farron and Benn recently - the GE will be like a flood that cleanses away all the detritus and the wasters that have been threatening to undermine the UK during the negotiations.

You can imagine that there will be a number of long-voting Labour constituencies that will be willing to vote Conservative this time secure Brexit, whereas such as places where I live (Wokingham) whilst perhaps last year returning a Remain majority there is not any chance they will switch from the Conservatives.

And as for UKIP - why would not every UKIP voter not vote Conservative on this occasion - they get everything they have wanted.

Good news for Labour - you will have a new leader in July - good for the UK as well because our democracy needs an effective opposition and especially good news for the UK as May will have 5 years to make Brexit a cemented reality - with no/limited scope for it to be reversed

So is it wee Jimmy for you then?

Rather wee Jimmy as you put it than a bunch of self serving Tory cunts any day of the week.

The rest of the U.K. if it voted a Tory landslide seals the fate of every party up here saying staying together will be better.

How can being governed by a detested party forever be better?

That will be the choice and if we shite it then we deserve everything that servile attitude warrants.
