You know what, May should basically do it, because the "opposition" wouldn't have a chance anyway. lol

they've just had 6 months of it, 2 more would have made no difference. People already know they are treacherous backstabbing *******s

You've got that the wrong way around.
And ignorance on the part of the public is no reason to run another GE. The system is not esoteric, anyone with base intelligence should be able to understand that they only select their MP.

Honsetly , I am worried about the polices she will push. Can any one please enlighten me on how do the bills get passed on the parliament ? This is the worst possible time with practically no opposition.
they basically get through on majority vote and then refereed to the lords as a double check, where they can get booted out.
I'd get yourselves down the newsagents sharpish and start bulk buying porn, harcopy format is going to be very valuable soon.....................
Hard to do that now though, "thanks" to the fixed term parliament act that DC implemented. Needs either a vote of no confidence in the gov, or 2/3rd of the commons to call an early GE now. Both are unlikely.

Allow me to introduce you to the British public.
Probably desperately trying to avoid a US conviction for fraud relating to the activities of the New York charity he runs.

I'm not sure were they with the boundary changes, I know there was talk about them before the last election buy the Lib Dems refused to support the Tories on changes out of protest on some rubbish. It was pretty much all that saved Labour and Ed Miliband from the precipice, if they can get the changes in she should call the election for September and get a nice 60+ seat majority.

I agree, we should have a general election, in 2020.
The last thing the country needs now, is more instability, uncertainty, or a hung parliment.
Just get on with it.
Get this Brexit business underway, get whatever deals we can manufacture, sort it, and go.
Then rebuild the country from the next two years of mess.

Not happening. The LibDems seem very confused about this seeing how they pushed through the fixed 5 year term when they were last part of the government...
Conservatives will struggle to get a majority for article 50 in parliament without it. I'm not sure they can whip enough to do it.

Probably (still) laughing that they wanted him, as the rock star front man, and instead ended up with his gimpy brother that played the bass in the band...
After it has been through parliament. Keep an eye out for it being scheduled. She said probably be t year.
She already said not this year - would expect some sort of timetable soon though.
Could it be rushed through before the recess? Or will she sit on it and let the bad economic data roll in.
