Just call another snap and give Corbyn the win imo.
They won't call an election unless they have to and it is not on the cards ATM. And even if they do there are no guarantees Corbyn will get it. A lot of people are disgusted how he used the tower tragedy to help himself - we will see won't we.

Hopefully more are waking up to him and even more will do so by the time of another election, if there is one.

it would be mad to have yet another election now, weve had 2 general elections and 2 referendums in the last few years and we have brexit started 3 days ago... The hysterical fleet street media always made a big drama out of everything, that idiot laura kunnssberg on the pitiful bbc news is a classic example. what an idiot she is ..endless exagerated soap operatic reports from downing street..screaming down the road at the prime minsiter? so shes 8 short of a total majority, so what? many have been before many will be again. it will get worked out...Lets just keep calm and carry on

Nah, he'd get the landslide victory. Tories havent stopped ****ing up for about 15 months running now, most specifically in the last 3. It wont be called, but it should be. As if 5 years of a minority government/ 2bn wasted on a fascist party is useful to anybody

Even most Tory Brits are worried about this deal with DUP because its not just about making up the numbers, its about the role of the government in the Northern Ireland peace process. When that peace process is in trouble, as it is at the moment, the British and Irish government are the mediator between the unionists and the nationalists. How can they remain the mediator when the unionists are now being brought into government?

She called this election because she thought Labour were weak and she was going to get a landslide but what was designed to expose Labour's weaknesses has profoundly exposed hers... and the country's not stupid. The Tory party have become a joke from their own making and if we aren't careful, we are going to end up as a failed state and all this because the Tories are too busy looking out for their own party... hanging onto number 10 like barnacles instead of getting out their and looking after their nation. And now, to top it all, they want to destroy what John Major and Tony Blair put in place... the peace process in Northern Ireland. Tory or not, we should all be fcuking angry about this.

It would be almost identical if there were little to no changes between the day before the election and right now... but if youve been keeping up, you would know that a feck load has changed. Obviously that would be reflected in a new snap.

Interesting how you fail to mention that the SDLP, throughout negotiations and the peace process, took the Labour whip in Parliament. How convenient you fail to harp on about how that weakened the peace process. Or that Gordon Brown also tried to make a deal with the DUP in 2010.

One rule for the Tories and another for Labour.

Because I'm talking about the present, not the past. I'm in the here and now because this isn't a tit for tat, my teams better than your team playground squabble, its about the future of Britain and the future of Northern Ireland NOW.

If it didn't affect the peace process then, why should it now - unless those Corbynites out there want to intentionally make a big thing about it to stir up a hornet's nest they wouldn't have welcomed back then - an underhand political tactic, down and dirty. Still amounts to double standards.

I think another election in the next few months would result in Labour being the largest party.

I can easily see around another 30 seats going Labour now.
The momentum is with Labour, hopefully their own MPs see that too.

I think that is wishful thinking. Do the remainers realise how many they have pi**ed off calling for a second referendum with their arrogant claims that people didn't understand what they were voting for.

What they really mean is that it is not what they want. I think many who voted to remain have been put off by such attitudes and would now vote leave.

Wasn't that lib dems in reference to brexit?...How is that a response to a post about Labours position in the GE?

They need to call another election at this point, a minority government isn't viable and it seems like the Tories can't get a coalition going.
