Aren't you being a little premature, whatever happens to Priti Patel that won't trigger a general election.
There aren't anywhere near enough Labour MP's to trigger an election and a 'no confidence' isn't going to come as a result of this naughty MP no mater how much fuss is whipped up by the lefty press.

I would still expect May to win in an election against Corbyn because the alternative is still Corbyn and far left politics.
I really, really hope that you are right.

It's now alleged the PM knew about Priti's meeting some months ago.........
WTF is going on
Bit weird. WTF is going on
I suppose Patel breaks ministerial code by meeting poeple behind May’s back and May has to do something is a worse situation than Patel told them and somehow they forgot or they were hush hush or something more ministerial sounding,

Well I guess that also depends if the electoral authorities are to sort out voter fraud or not in the next election.
If its sorted the votes for the left are likely to half
Has any evidence surfaced of this beyond Conservative MPs annoyed at not getting the majority they wanted repeating online social media gossip?If its sorted the votes for the left are likely to half

Well a number of columnists for the Centre right press say that many Tory MPs they have talked too have already written the next election off.Where you have most young professionals voting for the hard left the game is probably up.
All I hope is that the Tories maintain a sense of discipline and hold on for the full five years, then after that it will take some time for Labour to f*ck everything up.
I honestly find it astonishing that there is so much evident support for the current Labour leadership and policies. I really would have expected support to have nosedived over the last few years had a proper light been shone on its fiscal policies. I’m sure it says a great deal about the state we’re in that support appears to be so strong.

I worry about this too. Of course, a competent Tory Party could beat Corbyn with ease, but we don't have one of those any more. All it would take is enough people to realise how badly hit their incomes and the economy would be.
What policies would a competent Tory party implement to deal with stagnant wages, GDP that's barely moved for a decade and productivity problems?techiedave said:
