Speculation it could be a General Election. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-39627690 That's interesting. Maybe Brexit related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess we'll find out in 20 minutes or so! I wouldn't be surprised if she was resigning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the Hat Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 I suppose the prospect of a much larger Tory majority is appealing, but hard to get excited about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't ever be a better time to grab more seats. Lack of viable alternatives to the tories is worrying tbh. Still, might be something completely different to a GE.

Jon the Hat Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 Just now, Buce said: I thought a fixed-term was enshrined in law? Required 2/3rds of MPs to vote in support, and Corbyn has said he would approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buce Posted 18 April 2017 Share Posted 18 April 2017 I'm guessing this is about a Hard Brexit - her majority is too slim as things stand. Whatever, this is a disaster for the country - nothing good ever comes of a huge Tory majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
