labour have just made themselves look scared of having an election. The short bill will get the simple majority required (even if it is on a slightly different date) making labour look more stupid than they already are.

Yes Labour must understand
Johnson PM now wants a mandate
And I agree with that
Walking to a December Voting place
is not so bad even if the weather is fowl.

The party leaders don't matter much for any upcoming election, the ballot is about Brexit and people will vote based on their Brexit wishes. It could be a carrot and an egg in the leadership positions and it would barely affect the outcome.

Unfortunately remain voters are stuck between a rock and hard place with Corbyn or Swinson, neither of whom have a stance that is very believable, a peoples vote would be so much clearer

Lib Dem is going to split the Labour vote in England and Tories will get an easy majority. Scotland will vote heavily SNP. We barely need an election, the outcome is inevitable .

I think the Brexit Party will split the Tories so we could end up with a hung parliament with literally any combination

The only realistic way for Labour to get into power is to go into a three-way coalition with LibDem and SNP. I think SNP would go against their usual path and agree to one to get the Tories out - but they'd make IndyRef2 a condition of the pact. I doubt Labour would accept those terms as it would be seen as giving a "green light" to the break up of the UK, which they won't want to do... and I can't see SNP entering a full coalition without that promise.

Yes thats one date that is possible

Also Thursday 12th possible

With the Brexit party taking votes from the Tories and Lib Dem’s taking away from Labour, it’s going to be a touchy election to fight, I think it’s inevitable that we’ll end up with a Tory/BXP coalition and then we’re well and truly ****ed

The Brexit party might get a small vote share but I highly doubt they will win any seats, a good chunk of their support has already drifted back to the Tories anyway

For the Tories that's the worst possible scenario, as it'll mean votes syphoned away from their candidate "for no reason". If I was Brexit-minded, I'd be advising the Brexit Party not to field a candidate at all unless they are confident that candidate CAN win the seat.

I'm not sure how this will go tbh ... If May's snap election had happened instantly, the Tories would easily have a comfortable majority. But during the campaigns she machine gunned herself in the foot, while Corbyn was still fresh and managed to seem not like a joke, so as the date crept nearer it was obvious more people would vote for their Labour MPs.

This one? It's harder to call; Corbyn's shine has worn off a bit, and I think people still like Boris. But I also think people are sick of the perceived austerity, and think Corbyn will be the one to fix it.

My guess would be another coalition, with the coalescence giving whoever the PM is about 55% of the house, rather than a strong majority.

I just saw a Sun article stating that a Tory victory is a dead cert because of flat %age opinion polls on the parties . I'm sure they KNOW that's not how the UK electoral system works, it's flat out ridiculous that they're blatantly trying to miseducate their readers into thinking that it is.

If the Brexit party play up that Boris is an incompetent leader that can't take them out of the EU like they did with May then they could be a real threat to Tories. Nigel Farage is a twat but he knows how to rile up likeminded individuals to vote the way he wants them too and I doubt his ego would allow him to not field candidates wherever he can.

To be fair, UKIP never put any sort of dent in the voting even at the height of all of this, pre or post referendum, and despite the party line... I think even Sun readers realise that Brexit party is just UKIP 2.0. Farage being the face of it will likely confuse a lot of them into thinking that it's literally the same party with a new name .
