Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Voting for Christmas indeed. A lot of labour MPs will be brushing up their CVs. Most will need air brushing because they are not very impressive.

Seeing some Tory voters say this is about Brexit and will vote Liberal , there is a great danger this could happen , I don't think it's clear cut .

I do.

Where's Fred ? Maybe he's had a call to help write the Labour election manifiasco.

Looking for a cartoon to post as he is probably lost for words. (yes I know that is unlikely)

Is it really because May wants a mandate...Or is she getting cold feet on Brexit?

I wouldn't trust the 'establishment' as far as i could throw it...

The LibDems are the only ones that are happy a GE has been called, they have
nothing to lose but everything to gain, and the Tory's could lose a number of
seats to the LibDems in the South East, who's constituents voted to remain, the
Tory's need around 100 seat majority, otherwise it'l be looked on as a failure.

There has been left wing journalist spouting the best outcome would be a LibDem/
Labour/SNP coalition and having a very soft brexit....

An utter disaster....

Will the LibDems finally get smashed now? After the election, I think they will end up with only around 5 seats or so. Maybe even less.

Will UKIP get some MPs? Now Douglas Carswell has gone, I think they will possibly end up with 2 or 3 seats.

Will Labour take a big hit? Watch a disaster happen! I reckon they will get taken right down from 140 seats to less than 100!

Will the PM increase her majority? Yes. Massively!

And the SNPs? I would say they might lose as many as 15-20 seats and the Conservatives could take seats from them. However, I won't put my £5 on the last bit. :-)

The answers to all these questions and more will be answered early in the morning of June 9th

Hey giggles,

Just wondering who may be attempting to form a coalition government on June 9th.

But May reminds me someone attempting to emulate Erdogan.

Mind it takes a coward to duck facing up to the loony right of her "own" party of "con artists", Ukippers, BNP and similar and at the same time giving the bill to the public to pay for her own inadequacies and spinelessness.


Rejoice a new banana republic is on its way and we have more corruption to look forward to.

I can give them to you now XL
No, No, Yes, No, Yes.

Well once the GE is over that should see the end of corbyn, flabbott, and most
of the other shadow cabinet, who'l be nothing more than blips in history.

The Labour party will have to select another bunch of feminist, until the
islamist take charge then the feminist will be but blips in history..

Will Ed Balls stand again?

My bet is a resounding 'Yes'. 'Strictly' increased his popularity massively.

Ed Balls!!!!..Who's he?..

Well, Ed Balls showed he has a sense of humour.

He may need it.

Lol , that just about sums it up.

if any mp abstains to vote today should resign

any mp who abstains today should never have been an mp

Many won't be in less than 2 month's time Tanker. The vulnerable one's will need to be dragged through the division. It will be interesting to see how the Scottish No Party votes.
