Five are Labour and two are Tory.

I'm thinking it will be between Harman and Hoyle (both Labour) but will add a Tory, Laing as a long shot.

ELECTION STUNT NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS. :yep:

Just looking at the big three leaders and I just have no faith in any of them, jim's post above covers the nameless one. Bojo has told lie after lie and his media side of him controls him more than his political side. As for Joe Swinson she clearly comes across lusting for power and if she gets in....:o

Out of that bad bunch I don't want any of them but I am going to get stuffed by one of them when the election results are in.

Probably one of the most sensible things you'll read in the run up to the election.

Have a question on your election system

The last 5-10 years I have been witness to some of your Prime Minister saying
It's time for the British people pick a new PM and to put a new Parliament together.

Does this mean your PM and the Parliament can be in charge forever...until the PM decide it's time for the British people to.... ??

There must be an election every five years minimum.

Thank you

It's like here in Denmark, where the PM has the same right to put an election up and if s/he don't the election rules says every fourth year.

All sides will tell a load of BS and the NHS is the biggest BS political football. People say to me you must vote....Why should I vote for these party's who BS and lie to me. To hell with them all, try telling the truth and no BS and I may cast my vote but until then clear off.


Speaking of BS.....

The government can call an election earlier but it must be passed by a two thirds majority.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle was confirmed as the new Commons Speaker, succeeding John Bercow. Hoyle won the election after four rounds of voting eliminated the other six candidates.

Good luck to the guy because he can't be any worse than his predecessor.

I found the whole election process quite entertaining, especially so as I was Face Timing my lad during it whilst he was watching it from his apartment in Jakarta.

^Personally I would tell them to sod off and stop sending me this BS and lies. I suspect even after ticking the box I don't want to hear from you again these morons would still send emails out.

I really wonder why people vote these days, my conclusion they bought the lies and BS and the end result of that....NO HOPE OF THINGS GETTING BETTER.

In the world of soylent green I would be Sol.

Worthwhile for the entertainment value alone.

This is a must view.

Very well said Ian Austin MP for Dudley (Independent since February 2019 but formerly Labour)

My only observation about this GE is:

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland Brexit will dominate.

In Scotland it'll be independence with Brexit complicating things.

As the SNP have effectively replaced Labour up here it's a given that they will have the most seats. Exactly how many remains to be seen.

There's a truism in Scottish politics - the party that controls Glasgow and the Clyde Valley controls Scotland. If the other parties (apart from Labour, who have blown it) want to make inroads there, they need to make a serious study of why the Western Central Belt is the way it is and why it votes the way it does.

I suspect that for the Tories it'll be too challenging to their worldview for them to accept.

Mike.:hmmm:

I admire his stance but in all honesty I doubt he had any other alternative.

^This is how it's being reported here.

I am wondering how this would impact in the UK and the public's relation tot he Royals if the story is shown to be true!? In a sane society this should hold the potantial to destroy the function of the Royals as a national institution of uniting the people and closing gaps between different social andf political groups.


https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50296742


If true, both the deed and the attempt to hide it and intimidate reporters, are crimes. How loyal would the population remain to the Royals after this story blowing up and shown as truth?
