General Election June 2017

Without the lib Dems having been anialated at the last election, they would have been a good choice. But now? There really isn't any choice...

No credible opposition. We're fucked. Spoil your ballot paper.

This. So much this.

If Putin really wanted to fuck us up he'll get Jez in.

I don't think he'll have to do anything to fuck us up, we seem to be putting in a pretty solid effort already!

She's setting herself up with a rubber stamp parliament isn't she?

Just read Tim Farron is an evangelical christian.

Is there not a party without a madman/woman at the helm?

yeah I'm trying to ignore that too

Not that Theresa May's christian values do much to guide her decision making.

I hope her god does exist, and judges her.

Wait, what?!

Although if you take the Brexit vote on constituency lines it was much more a vote for Brexit, nearer 2/3 majority I think.

You didn't know that Timmy thinks gays can be cured of their sin?

I'm not sure it is true but somebody told me that while Timmy disagrees with gay marriage and abortion, he recognises that he is in a minority and supports the right to freedom of choice.

False

Mmm. All those people hacking twitter accounts to post a reply to the Humanist Association.

Unlikely story I know. It would be so foolish for him to have written that knowing anyone could view it. His history on gay rights are chequered for sure, but I believed him on that one.

So are any Labour MPs going to be deselected?

Corbyn said no ages ago. But I don't know what the deselection process is. Can it be done by local members before an election?

Think it is local party, Corbyn might not be able to control it. Seems to have died down as a threat.

will there be televised debates?

36% of population voted Brexit. That leaves 64% who either voted remain or didn't vote...

Nobody knows yet. They seem to be making it up as they go along. Straight after the announcements the bi-elections were going ahead, now it seems not.

I booked my summer holiday (flying out 7th June) a while ago. If find it pretty crazy a general election is called with less notice but that's politics.
