Is he serious? the country is already in debt and he wants to waste 100s of millions on another pointless election process.

is there a link? if he does this is as bad as Nicola wanting a referendum, its not the time to go to the Polls, we have enough on our plate and its just him grasping at an opportunity to get into power with no thought for the country who are fed up to the back teeth with politicians and elections

It was on Gogglebox it showed a lip of the news where he agreed that there should be another election if we failed in Brexit talks

Bit of an important detail to omit there, Adam.

Selfish individual who thinks the time is right for him and grasping for what may be his only chance. I think he is underestimating public opinion and could welll be a decision he would end up regretting anyway.

I have seen him saying this to Robert Peston Cherie, he also wants Teresa May to resign, he really is a daft old fart.

The daft old fart is angling for another general election, he thinks he'd get into No. 10 this time round. The only No 10 he'll be getting into is the bus taking him to collect his pension.

I love that description of him - it is so apt - he really is a daft old fart.

Literally next to nobody in the country wanted a tory/dup coalition. It is odd we all settled on it pretty fast. I think the general public are just so sick of politics taking over the decade though.

Literally nobody would vote in another snap election specially not when it would be the 4th major vote in 4 years

Oh I disagree with that, I think people would still reluctantly vote, I just doubt people would pay as much attention to the news and media which would kinda make it pointless.

He’s not saying that.He’s saying that nobody wanted a Tory DUP coalition.(Apart from possibly DUP supporters).Which is true.Tories wanted a majority and Labour obvs didn’t want it.
Yes May got most votes but calling that GE was a huge mistake and her awful campaign was her second mistake.She’s in a very weak position.

I'm actually beginning to admire May a bit. She has been in an almost impossible position what with Corbyn's opposition and some in her own Tory party giving her a hard time over the Brexit talks and the BBC criticising every move she makes and suppressing anything that could damage their puppet Corbyn.
That weakens her position in the EU. They must be rubbing their hands in glee at how they are therefore better placed to adopt a harder stance because the parties aren't at least showing some solidarity in getting the country the best possible deal they can get for the good of the country and what they voted for and letting her concentrate on getting on with it.

I think May has done pretty well considering and is getting stronger. She can't be considered that much of a disaster or Corbyn and his cronies would be soaring ahead in the polls. That they aren't speaks volumes - that he would be even worse.

I don’t know.I agree she was given a poisoned chalice with brexit and it would’nt have been easy for anyone.She did a great job
of appearing strong until she made the almost fatal mistake of calling a GE and leading a god awful campaign.Corbyn was at a particularly weak point at the time.God knows how she fk’d it up so badly.It’s all gone downhill from then.Many of her party i think dont have confidence in her but only back her as they’re terrified of a GE right now.She also has the problem of all the Tory remainers like that **** Soubry plus brexiteers like Boris and Gove who aren’t happy with the pandering to Juncker.Then there’s the chancellor who likes to contradict her from time to time.
May will be lucky to make it through the process i reckon.

Tories didnt win. The tories AND the DUP won. And next to nobody wanted that coalition which was my point. I'm aware several millions voted for the Tories.
