To who?There's a reason the Tories would rather dip their shrivelled dicks in sulphuric acid than call an election.
They'd lose it.

I'll be honest with you - the Euro elections will be an interesting guide but I do think the next GE all bets are off - we are heading for such a split in votes if we don't leave that no seat is "safe" and so many other awkward parties and independents come into play a shaky coalition worthy of Italy is the best outcome I can see

Depends on what the stance is.
20 points behind in 2017 and they reached 40%.
Labour are ahead now.
If you want to know the likely outcome of the next election, look at the fear in the Tory ranks.

It might have come across as a flippant comment but I agree that there's no end of parties they could lose to. Either way, both parties will be held hostage by either Unionists or SNP separatists.I'll be honest with you - the Euro elections will be an interesting guide but I do think the next GE all bets are off - we are heading for such a split in votes if we don't leave that no seat is "safe" and so many other awkward parties and independents come into play a shaky coalition worthy of Italy is the best outcome I can see

or the Monster Raving Brexit Party if they can get one or two MP's elected.
Sorry, you are rewriting economic history. No point in arguing with you, though.No problem there mate.
The reductions in corporation tax and taxes for the wealthy might have had something to do with the increase in national debt.
As indeed did the austerity programme of 2010-2012 which sent the economy into recession thereby reducing growth and tax revenues.
Alistair Darling ( remember him) had a more sensible economic programme in 2010 of modest cuts in public spending whilst spending to invest in capital projects,infrastructure etc.
I might add that I didnt agree with the tory econ policy, eg austerity falling on the least able, but there is not the slightest evidence for what you say.
Darlings plan was fine, but would have increased debt. Personally, I would have been fine with that, but it still doesnt make sense for you to criticise increase in debt and austerity at the same time.

That’s a bit like City bragging about putting 10-0 past Burton over two legs.
The Tories are absolutely shot to shit, he should be leading and the fact he’s only leading narrowly, tells you everything.

Jeremy Corbyn increased Labour's vote share more than any of the party's leaders since 1945, a bigger swing than Tony Blair, the biggest swing since Clement Attlee.
That result exceeded all expectations. Having begun the campaign 20 points behind in the polls, Labour won an astonishing 40% of the votes.
Corbyn won 30 more seats than Ed Miliband in 2015. He deprived Theresa May of her majority. He won seats in southern England such as Canterbury and Plymouth that for years have been Labour no-go areas.
And the opposition had Boris Johnson as a potential leader, David (Brexit) Cameron as a now former leader & a gaggle of clueless, misshapen, weirdos including Theresa May. They should have been destroyed & should be wiped out of existence next time, but still we can't even be sure if Boris wouldn't win an election.
Jeremy is Labour's equivalent of Mahrez' penalty at Anfield, repeating n a timeloop.
