General Election called
Mrs May has just announced there will be a general election on June 8th - who'd have thought it?
Right decision I think but a little surprising |

Re: General Election called
Right decision,yes.
Nows the time to get the standing Hyndburn MP out of office. I never thought I would be saying that but recently I've been slowly changing my mind. It's not set in stone yet, it's got to go to a commons vote tomorrow.

Re: General Election called
I've said before that our general election times should be fixed, something like the 1st Monday in June on years ending in a 0 or 5. I don't like how the government can call an election when they want because they think they can increase the number of MP's they have to railroad things through parliament.
That said I might have to vote Tory this time as well because voting anyone else will be voting Labour and that would give us Jeremy Corbyn's version of Brexit which would be like not leaving at all.

Re: General Election called
well if you want brexit to work out for the UK and also dont want to risk the chance of it been cancelled Hyndburn are going to have to kick out its labour MP as should any other area that voted brexit
do you really want to risk a labour government especially with folk who have made their opinion on brexit very well known and exactly what they think of us .. just watch the back pedaling by these parasites who will say anything to keep their cushy jobs and then break their word once elected its already happened to us once dont let it happen again

dont be surprised if the BBC show bias towards labour and be even less surprised when they dont get pulled up for it by the fairness and equality folk that ensure they equally treat parties

Re: General Election called
Labour do not have a snowball in hells chance of winning this election but the good thing will be they will have to get rid of Corbyn afterwards.

Re: General Election called
It's not just Labour who'll be losing over this "Sting", the wee ginger tom north o' the border should be getting her comeuppance too!
Happy days all round then?
