Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[orly]

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.

Haha.

A majority between 10 and 20?!? Corbyn and the cronies would take that today with an immediate defeat.

I'm going to have a look for some odds for Diane Abbott to lose her seat a la Ed Balls.

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.

Dan Jarvis has been sounding people out heavily for the last year. Could be in place by the Autumn, so the Party can rebuild properly

I will pay good money to have her removed the horrible, racist, ignorant cow

Have you ever heard him speak?

 

[Duncan Disordely]

It's gonna be a bloodbath for Labour

Absolutely. Dreadful individual with nowhere to hide from June onwards. She'll have plenty of time for fake headaches

* This means the Tories will be in power until 2022

Good news is though that if she waited till 2020 for the election we would be stuck with them till 2025 so at least it gives Labour a chance to regroup sooner.

 

[peteblue]

how can lib dems have odds that short?!

Mean bookies......

 

[Number_25]

I beg of you, if you care about the state of our public services and the well being of the old and infirm - vote Labour.

 

[orly]

Have you ever heard him speak?

Yes of course. Beats listening to Milne, Abbott and McDonald that's for sure

So they only gain 3 seats? With the Irish voting with them it about 17 majority now Lib Dems will get to 20 seats - the rest will be a landslide against Labour why it's Corbyn as a socialist I cannot vote for him !
