Speculation it could be a General Election. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-39627690 That's interesting. Maybe Brexit related?
EastAnglianFox Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 The Prime Minister announcing at 11:15am that Big Wes is back and fully fit to start tonight!!

Jon the Hat Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 General Election June 8th. You read it here first.
Jon the Hat Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 I suppose the prospect of a much larger Tory majority is appealing, but hard to get excited about this.

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 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.
urban.spaceman Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 This will be the end of Corbyn - well, he'll lose by a massive margin but STILL won't go, I mean.
Buce Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Corbyn must want to go - agreeing to this is political suicide for the Labour Party.
EastAnglianFox Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Damn, she even rocked up 10 minutes early!! I like how tough she has become, warming to her greatly.
Buce Posted 18 April 2017 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.

DJ Barry Hammond Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Bloody hell. Who wants an election when there's no attractive option to vote for!
Mark_w Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Two months of begrudgingly deciding between the Lib Dems and Labour followed by a miserable election. Great.
Lionator Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 This is the worst thing ever. British politics is a total mess. There'll be a ridiculously low turnout.
ousefox Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Shows what a pointless bit of legislation the Fixed Terms Parliament Act is.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 This will just be a rerun of the referendum essentially and Labour will be caught in the middle of it.
