By:
I heard someone on telly say they can't hold an election after early dec because of likely weather problems; very short days etc in Scottish Highlands; Northerly parts so that probably rules out Jan / early Feb as well ... could be March!
|

By:
Let's hope so !!
|

By:
they certainly won't be campaigning over the xmas holidays. end of feb the earliest if it's not first 2 weeks in december

Todays prices...
October 1000.0 November 18.0 December 3.0 2020 or later 1.58 Folks backing November today but I am not sure legally that could be an option. By law, there needs to be twenty five working days minimum for campaigning. |
|
By:
yes it's a non runner if not called this week. no indication of that
|

By:
SNP sticking in an amendment to try and force a general election after an article 50 extension is secured up to at least 31 January.
|

By:
They want an election this year ahead of Salmond's trial in January.
|

By:
Folks still throwing their money away on a November election that would have to be voted through this week for it to happen.

this brexit has cost a few punters a few squids...
anybody with any understanding of uk politics must be having a good christmas this year. |

Even though their slogan was Trust the People it's hard to see Labour voting for an election any time soon as they'll get absolutely hammered at the polls and the last thing they want is Boris with a healthy working majority.

A lot of Remainers in the big cities will go with the UnDems.
Out in the sticks Labour are seen as the party who have blocked Brexit. So it's hard to know who will definitely be voting n for them apart from the dyed in the wool "I've voted Labour all my life" brigade. And don't forget Boris has a near Teflon coating and is a far far better campaigner than Theresa May. In the comments section of the Guardian, on forums like this, on Twitter and on Gogglebox Labour are very popular. IRL people think Corbyn is a dick. |
|
By:
he may be a good campaigner but he is carp in a debate
they may wish they had chosen gove... |
|
By:
Yes, Gove is in a different league from Boris as a debater but has other obvious drawbacks. Boris task to win a workable government just got a lot tougher as I will assume the DUP will ditch him now.
|
|
By:
maybe gove can do the amber rudd job?
standing in for absent pm in debates shirley a debate will be tagged onto bill to force early election. corbyn is so much better than bj at debating. |
|
By:
Labour putting forward a december election would just about sum up their wring decision making,if it had been up to corbyn they would have had one by now and lost by 250 seats..
|
|
By:
It's only the government that can propose an election.
|
|
By:
Corbyn was much more popular back at the last election and he couldn't even beat the worse Tory PM in living memory.
Boris won London twice. Have a look at the political map of the capital and you'll realise what n achievement that was. The reason we haven't had a GE yet is even Labour know they are doomed. |

By:
corbyn was less popular entering last election than he is now
on a level playing field he cant lose to an ass like bj |

It's only the government that can propose an election I mean't agreeing to it,it's obvious it will be brought into play this week. |

By:
why cant mps take control of order paper, from government, again, and propose
an election, not that they want to, nor need to whilst bj is willing |
|
By:
in a lot of constituencies in london they weigh the labour votes no matter how disreputable or incompetent the candidate is. the average punter wouldn't have a clue who their MP is. they just vote for the party or leader
|
|
By:
Are you suggesting that members of the electorate don't understand what they vote for?
|
|
By:
Like I said Corbyn was very popular last election, peak Corbyn and he was fighting a political disaster called Theresa May. That's won't be the case next time.
Who'd vote for Ken Livingstone? Have you forgotten he was the beloved leader of the GLC & Mayor for 8 years!!!!!! |

Sorry, is today's vote on the boris deal that wasnt voted for on saturday because of the letwin admentant?

First vote will likely go through.
Second one looks very tight and may well be dependant on how the debate plays out. |

Right now, it's so difficult to get a handle on how individuals will vote.
Talk of as many as 30 Labour MP's voting for the WAB at second reading. If true, then it becomes very difficult to predict if, having clearly crossed the line, do they remain on that side of the street. |
