Re: Theresa May to make 11:15am statement. Rumours of early election.
 

Other rumors suggest she is resigning or announcing direct rule for Northern Ireland.

its an alien invasion

Re: Theresa May to make 11:15am statement. Rumours of early election.
 

Revoking Article 50. :D

Re: Theresa May to make 11:15am statement. Rumours of early election.
 

Wenger out?

Re: Theresa May to make 11:15am statement. Rumours of early election.
 

Some of Cable forum members are leading the talks on Brexit.;)

Re: Theresa May to make 11:15am statement. Rumours of early election.
 

Lots of rumors it's Northern Ireland now.

Lots of cars parked outside Downing Street.....

if it's a snap election it could be problematic as vast numbers of people have shown they have no idea how democracy works ,i look forward to the streets being covered in bits of old cardboard with the usual rubbish scrawled on them in felt tip pen ;)


i hope it's aliens though :)

Re: Theresa May to make 11:15am statement. Rumours of early election.
 

The thing is how can she call an early election without knowing for sure Parliament would approve? Maybe she'll resign if they turn it down....

Re: Theresa May to make 11:15am statement. Rumours of early election.
 

Hearing strong rumours May will announce General Election for June 8th..

Re: Theresa May to make 11:15am statement. Rumours of early election.
 

bbc agree with you

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

And she has announced it

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Let's hope she also announces a ban on party political broadcasts.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Kind of weird that she says it's because of division over Brexit. Labour are backing it so it's only the SNP and Lib Dems against.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Labour are backing it but want another vote on the outcome IIRC.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Farewell Corbyn.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

election due to the many traitors in Westminster trying to derail brexit


Justifying the decision, Mrs May referred to Brexit, saying: "The country is coming together but Westminster is not."

He'll probably stay even if they lose in a landslide :erm:

Will Labour vote for it?

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

An election just before they all sod off on an extended Summer break?

I didn't see that coming.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

It's put up or shut up time.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Tories and Liberals know their campaign but wonder how Labour will sell it.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

The Labour leadership (and SNP and the Liberal Democrats) has pledged to back an early election. As to how Labour MPs will vote is another matter.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Corbyn saying Labour backs PM decision.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

I already know who i will be voting for, time for me to stop all notifications from news providers and time for me to warm up the ignour function on here for anyone spamming the forum with crap about the election :).

This is my last post about this election till after the election

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Good we need this to settle things down and i predict a heavy conservative landslide with neither labour or the lib dems being remotely credible though likely the lib dems will benefit from remain supporters. What will be most interesting is scotland and how well the snp fare it will be a chance for scots to show whether they support another indyref or not. Interesting times ahead and i hope Theresa May comes out ahead.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Aye, right :D

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

I don't think the Liberals will do too well, the Tories can focus 100% on them given how weak Labour are.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

I think the liberals may overtake labour to be honest they will target remain voters and there's probably a good enough amount of single issue voters to make the lib dems more then they are.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

The Lib Dems will do well in remainy marginals where they were in second place in 2015. The Tories will lose a couple of seats to them. However they will win many more seats from Labour, which I am sure is May's calculation.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

people in certain areas vote labour religiously no matter what the state of the party is or its politics .

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

Biggest plus point about this election will be the very short campaign time no long drawn out stupidity fest like the EU referendum. It makes sense to have one and get a stronger government in place to properly deal with brexit.

Re: May calls General Election for June 8th
 

I have created our own snap poll.

Rather than have two topics open on this, I'm closing this one. Please move to new thread on this topic. Thanks.
