UK Politics Thread VII: Wake me DUP inside [can't wake UUP]

[Fartsniffage]

I'm sure this has already been discussed but I heard news of a general election being called this Autumn? Personally love campaigning in Autumn but what do you guys think? May isn't stupid enough to do it twice, is she?

Boris has stated categorically that there will be no Autumn snap election.



So I'll see you at the hustings in September.

another election would be hilarious because it would really drive in the general chaos that we've been going through these past years

She called the snap election because the longer her governance goes on, the more ridiculous this phrase looks. She had to use the window of opportunity when people associated her with a firm hand at the home office to benefit from it.

And she then proceeded to lose that immediately

If another election happened she'd be the worst Tory PM since Major and would easily give Corbyn the keys to No. 10, there will not be another election until 2020 at the earliest I bet.

literally all you're saying is that she'd be worse than Cameron

Pretty sure the Foreign Secretary doesn't get to say when elections happen.

I dont see where Labor can gain enough seats to form a majority government.

There are a number of seats I feel they could win against the Tories and the SNP to get close to a majority.

I dunno what you'd want to define as a marginal, but just of the seats where Labour is less than 1k votes behind:
Aberconwy
Airdrie and Shotts
Arfon
Bolton West
Broxtowe
Calder Valley
Chipping Barnet
Dunfermline and West Fife
Glasgow East
Glasgow South West
Hastings and Rye
Inverclyde
Lanark and Hamilton East
Motherwell and Wishaw
North East Fife
Northampton North
Norwich North
Preseli Pembrokeshire
Pudsey
Richmond Park
Southampton Itchen
Stoke-on-Trent South
Telford
Thurrock

That alone is 24 seats, and there are plenty more that are definitely winnable.

Why easily? The polling says otherwise - which is a bit embarrassing for labour.

Remember her terrible campaign and manifesto? If another election is anything like what the previous one was like, she could lose. Also, polling is not that accurate, the Tories thought they'd win with a majority of over 100 because of the polls, and they lost their majority.

On the other hand with divorces heading to outstrip marriages and the utter unfairness in the judicial system regarding the treatment of males I do not at all blame this guy for telling his girlfriend to pay rent. On the other hand he's going to end up single.

There's zero security for either side, and both sides have the government - and society - to blame.

But Mr North told the Daily Post: “He (Mr Terry) had no right coming in to my store with his dog.

“He should have asked me or my wife for help finding what he wanted because, as a blind man, he is incapable of doing it for himself.

“Dogs can’t talk. The dog could not have told him where he can find certain products, so there is no need for the dog to be in my shop.

“I have a big sign at the front of the shop which says we do not allow any dogs under any circumstances."

Pretty sure that store owner is violating the Equalities Act here.

Whether Edinburgh do or don't win it, my constituency is not going to be voting snp again. We have a load of microbreweries and the snp's views on alcohol clash with our local economy.

Yes, Mr. North, he does have a right to come into your store with his guide dog, provided it is in harness/specially marked as such. It's called the law.
