May's probably hoping to legitimise herself as PM so that she can claim a mandate to be prime minister: Major and Brown both made a big thing of doing so after being appointed by a cabinet reshuffle/party leader storming off in a snit rather than an election, didn't they?
Either that or she's hoping the election will be such a fiasco she gets a no confidence vote and will be able to stand down, sticking somebody else with the blame for taking us out of Europe: she still hasn't done the job she took over from pork C3P0 Cameron to do because he didn't want to be remembered for doing it yet, has she?


All that, plus one other little matter, will have prompted May's call for another Gen Election - the fact that the Government's majority could be wiped out due to various Tory MPs getting their collars felt as a result of the Brexit fraud enquiry. I've read of varying numbers - 14, 23 or 27 Tory MPs who could receive the unwelcome attentions of Inspector Knacker - but even the lowest of those numbers is enough to jeopardise the current Government's working majority of 17. At any rate ...

"This is billed as the Brexit election – the opportunity to refight the battles of a year ago over the biggest political question in a generation.

But it could yet turn into an election fraud election – with a cunning plan hatched by David Cameron’s Remainer CCHQ more than two years ago coming back to haunt Theresa May and her merry band of Brexiteers.

The date everyone is watching is 8 June – polling day. But 20 May could be when this election is turned on its head, the deadline for the first of at least 14 current Tory MPs to find out if they are to be prosecuted for election fraud. The others, it might be up to 20, or even more, must learn their fate by early June.

They won’t be MPs by then of course. Parliament will have been dissolved by 3 May at the latest. But they could be forced to file their nomination papers by 11 May with an unresolved year-long police investigation hanging over their heads.

So we could see a string of what were once considered marginal Tory seats being defended by candidates who face being put on trial during the next parliament accused of being fraudulently elected to the current one."

Yuck. It's all so slimey.

At this point, all I can say is 'Oh, bollocks'. Brexit was 'out of the frying pan, into the fire'. Where to after that ... is there a furnace nearby?


Yet there hasnt been a fire. Although there might be after the French Election this weekend.

Vote for Corbyn for a manifesto straight from the 70s playbook. Vote Liberal for the gang of nine. Vote SNP for the one trick pony.

The only danger to May is apathy.

Just when we need proper debate and challenge, the only opposition worh its salt is north of the border and that isn't going to provide us with the democratic discourse the whole of the UK needs over the next five years.

Strap in for five years of an unchallenged Conservative government.

I'm not making a partisan point here. When Thatcher and Blair became seriously unchallengable democracy suffered.

And they will hammer the current government for future potential tax rises. And then they will start screaming that the financial sector is moving to Germany. The Express ( I think it’s that one and not the daily mail) is turning out to be a right nasty piece of work akin to what is common place in America.

Even now stories are beginning to leech out to the dumbfuk sheople of the UK on the BBC and scandal mag tabloids and press like:

General election 2017: Tories move to dampen tax hike fears
Speculation that the Conservatives are planning tax rises, if they win the general election, have been played down by party sources.

Chancellor Philip Hammond said on Thursday there should be "flexibility to manage the system" of taxation.

But Tory party sources have told the BBC it was not a hint at plans to raise taxes in the Conservative manifesto.

The shadow chancellor John McDonnell accused the government of planning "a tax bombshell".

And the Liberal Democrats suggested Mrs May intended to hit the pockets of the "white van man".

Before winning the 2015 general election, the Conservatives promised no rises in VAT, national insurance contributions, or income tax.



They campaigned hard on something called the national deficit, never to be confused with the national debt. And all they have succeeded in doing is wrecking the "country" ors it nation.
Christ 2010-2022 at least - shudders at the thought.

The national debt has effectively tripled under that bunch of corrupt fuks - not bad for 7 years eh. Incidentally, historically, it goes up more under those fukwits than it does the labour party. And the Tory muppets are least likely to pay it off ...like now eh!

So, you freely admit that the press has the power to sway elections. And yet people in America are still screaming about the damn Russians who had nothing to do with it. Maybe if the press just did their job and "reported the news" instead of "becoming the news" this world would be a better place.

Status: offline 		I have always admitted that the press has the power to sway an election to their preferred conclusions. Most people tend to just absorb the headline the "news" sites scream at them. The content is often irrelevant or the fact the very truth throttled from it. And thats before i mention fake news.

It’s usually the news sites that choose our prime minister and the US president. And that is the true travesty of it all. But I need to hold sheople equally complicit.

The Russians installed their preferred candidate in the USA – and for the moment that has backfired on them.

General election 2017: Corbyn says Labour nuclear policy still 'under discussion'
Labour has said it still backs the UK's Trident nuclear weapons after Jeremy Corbyn said "all aspects" of defence would be reviewed if he won power.
The case for renewing Trident was still being discussed, the Labour leader told the BBC, prompting Tory criticism.
But a Labour spokesman said it remained official policy to keep the deterrent.
In the interview, Mr Corbyn said he wanted no more air strikes in Syria but did not rule out a drone strike to kill the leader of so-called Islamic State.

General election 2017: Tories to pledge energy bill cap
A cap on household energy bills is set to be included in the Conservative manifesto, a cabinet minister has said.
According to the Sunday Times the plans could cut gas and electricity costs by £100 a year for 17 million families.
Work and Pensions Secretary Damian Green told ITV people felt "taken advantage of" by energy firms.
Labour said the plan should be taken with "a pinch of salt", while price comparison company uSwitch said it would "do more harm than good".
The wider energy industry has reacted with scepticism to the plan, saying a price cap could have a negative impact on competition and lead to higher prices.

Just think: if he'd shown this degree of support for his former party a few years back, rather than whining about Broon and everybody else who's succeeded him acting more like labour men than stealth conservatives, maybe the brokeback coalition wouldn't have got elected back in 2010.
