Rumours that PM Frutiloop might be planning a snap election. Just how badly can she screw it up this time?

Maybe a coalition with the SNP?spin
I thought Judas May said she would step down before the next GE or is this another u-turn?

But then Corbyn promised lots of free stuff, nationalisation at no cost, and extra holiday for everyone...and the masses were swayed.

Since then he's said we can have a 4 day week, and a 10% asset grab on companies to give to the workers, yet he's still behind.

think it was 16 or 17 and just 2 or 3 come Election time. In any case an Election now would be a disaster for all parties as I think most people are just about sick of Politicians telling us lies regardless of their Party affiliations

Promise the (idiot) masses anything they want, the more extreme the better, win an election, then blame everyone else for it not happening?

Not seen that happen before recently have we?

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Because many people will be voting for indies because the current house is a disgrace to this country and it needs a massive shake up.

I won't vote for the Tories now, there isn't a Brexit party, so I'll see what indies we have in my area and go with one of those.

Maybe I simply wont bother.

If Labour get in because of this attitude, then so be it.

One route...

If I were May I'd dump a large % of the aspiring "career" politicians and replace them with centrist/right of centre (economically) independents with an agreement that they only had to vote with the govt on a few central policies and they could free vote on the rest.

So a shift from manifesto politics to more parliamentary, strength of the argument politics.

That said, I'm not sure that career politics has really helped our system.

1. People are sick of elections and the Tories will suffer a backlash for calling one.
2. People are sick of the way Brexit has been handled and the Tories will suffer the backlash for it.

You would think, but reality doesn't always follow logic.

There is the question of why she needs to run an election.

The DUP have said they will end the confidence and supply arrangement if a deal like the WA gets through. In which case there will not be a functioning government and she will HAVE to hold an election.

So you have an election fought after the Conservative leadership have just f*cked the UK with whatever WA they have "negotiated", A recipe for a decisive Labour victory if you ask me, regardless of current polling.

This is rather relevant, polling of Conservative party members

https://www.conservativehome.com/thetorydiary/2019...

Unless anything changes May will enter an election campaign with only 17% of her own party members backing her approach to Brexit.

Looking forward to seeing what May and her crack team of negotiators can come up with over the next few days.

I'm predicting that she will grind them into submission, coming out with an agreement that we pay them an extra £25 billion and all sacrifice our left testicles, in return the EU won't concede anything.

Apparently it was never about the money. You cannot put a price on taking back control...
