Oh he'll get someone else to do that; Then he'll step over the bodies and be the innocent 'whilst not seeking public office myself, at this time of crisis I feel I must step up.... Etc etc'. #oilysnake

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
Quote:
UK government ministers are in a “state of denial” over the “social calamity” of deprivation in the country, a senior United Nations fact-finder has said at the end of a 12-day visit.
Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, said it was “patently unjust and contrary to British values” that so many people in the UK lived in poverty.
The assessment by Prof Alston is one of the most damning yet by an outside expert of a range of policies, including the universal credit welfare reforms, which are widely blamed for widening the UK’s social divisions.
The rapporteur was also fiercely critical of the disproportionate effect on women of some recent changes. He said that if a group of misogynists had been asked to draw up their preferred policies, they would scarcely have differed from what had been implemented.
Prof Alston suggested that the UK was heading towards becoming an “alienated society” with dramatic differences between what would once have been referred to as the upper and lower classes.

Not sure a general election would change things though as its still highly likely we would be in hung parliament territory again.

It is hard to say who will have the most seats but there won't be much in it.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
I think May's position was strengthened by the hardliner's failure to get 48 signatures. As one Tory MP said, "This is how Vote Leave would have looked without Dominic Cummings."
But now, the actions of the DUP today make her position weaker.
So, in this coalition of chaos, it's pretty much a game of snakes and ladders. More interesting to watch than play unless you're one of the many snakes.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
I think her government is now on the brink of collapse without the DUP support.

Nah don't think so. They whinge and squeal and cause general trouble but they don't want a Corbyn govt. Anyway looks like a lot of their supporters in the business and farming sectors are happy with the current Brexit deal. Don't bite the hand that votes for you !
