Current Affairs 2017 General Election

one of the big risks is scotland, what if SNP completely clean up? another referendum...

I think the SNP will lose MP's. Labour now have a chance in Scotland and the Conservatives may take a few seats as well. This is bad news for the SNP, Sturgeon kept saying May didn't have a mandate and she has taken up the challenge. Sturgeon has been challenged to do likewise with the Scottish Parliament but refuses to do so because she knows that Scotland doesn't want another referendum.......

No, like choosing between Lukaku, Kane or Niasse......

yep...there are deffo some lazy tories out there..

Tories will win by a massive majority. Greens/Lib dems will take more seats off Labour and UKIP.

Wouldn't surprise me if labour came third in the polls

I wouldn't be surprised if this resulted in a Tory majority of between 10 and 20 - the electorate do not like repeated elections and they certainly do not like elections called in naked self-interest against previous promises to the contrary. (edit) They will probably return the same result as 2015.

Scotland is going to overwhelmingly vote in favour of the SNP again.

This is going to be the end of Labour.

A question for the GOT Scots: does the overwhelming support for the SNP lie with the indy vote, or are they a genuinely viable domestic party? I've often wondered if they rebranded a bit, whether they could field candidates in Northern England under the same manifesto (minus the indy vote bit) and be successful.

Speaking from Northumberland, I would vote for their social policies above the other parties. No-one in the Home Counties has a clue what life is like up here. The Jocks do.

Think we'll see a bigger majority than Blair had in 97. Think Labour will still come second but closely followed by SNP and LibDems. Can see tories getting 75% of seats which is horrendous than any party has that level of power.

The SNP can't come anywhere near second - they only stand in sixty seats.

The problem for Labour is that, should Jeremy Corbyn be finished after this, there is no-one of any substance or gravitas to become leader. Last time around leadership vote wise, the presumed likely candidates withdrew piecemeal or didn't stand for election at all. Perhaps it would take the likes of Dan Jarvis or Hilary Benn to give the party any sense of stability and political integrity...though they were the disappointing absentees from last time round.
