Liebour have said they will support GE vote, so will get 2/3 majority to pass act to overrule fixed term.
It is a brave, bold and understandable decision. It will give her a mandate (unlike Gordon McRuin in similar circumstances). Recent poll shows that 55% now support #Brexit. It is a window of opportunity to get a strong mandate before detailed EU negotiations start and means that #Brexit will be well past and implemented before she needs to go to the country again.
I personally think the Tories will do better than in last GE, especially in Scotland at the expense of Liebour and Jimmy Krankie's SNP whose popularity has been falling.
IMO Liebour will lose lots of seats and the FibDims will gain a few and the Green Fantasist party may double in size to two MP's. I also think Douglas Carswell will win as an Independent at UBrick's expense. I can't see UBrick doing very well after their recent North of England by-election results.
Going to be an interesting 7 weeks (not) for TV addicts. I happy to say I won't have to endure 7 weeks on GE TV coverage, where I no longer bore myself stupid by watching TV.
I agree with your assessment. Labour are going to be badly hurt, and with Scottish Independence being now at risk from falling potential Scottish revenue post the event, the SNP are likely to have power eroded in Scotland. Lib -Dems to me are the unknown, but potentially weak link. They are not exactly attracting voters from Labour, but with no alternative, what is the choice? The Lib-Dems last three Political Broadcasts were a repeat everytime, and a boring account of life repeating itself. They will never inspire me a Conservative Socialist.
Yes Rod, the sensible thing to do is stay away from TV, and certainly it will give me the bonus of far more time for reading and studying history. Now that is far more exciting!!
