A smart move on May's part. Labour's day has come. My party should profit. There will be f*ck all opposition left come June the 9th though. One drawback for the Tories will be facing a more competent leader of the Labour Party at the next GE in 2022....will the benefits of Brexit be felt by then or will we be in a transition period allowing a relaunched Labour Party to play on possible disappointment among the electorate?
Fixed term bill allows for snap elections if mandated by HoC.
Labour mate texted me whining about the call - he was saying it was unfair there was no election when May took over!
May has played an absolute blinder which strengthens Britains hand in negotiations. Labour MPs will vote for it to get rid of Corbyn. Lib Dems and SNP as always will be irrelevant.
May wants a much bigger majority so that she can't be blackmailed by her own backbenchers as she negotiates brexit not to mention other issues at home.
You would think this is as safe a gamble as there is in politics but if the last year has taught us anything it's that politics has never been less predictable.

Corbyn - "...". No doubt he's pottering about on his allotment, phone turned off watering the melons whilst wistfully pondering where it all went wrong...
Personally I hope they all spontaneously combust, and the last thing we need is more focus on party political shit. But....if The Grim Reaper can rid herself of the thrall to the Swivel Eyed Hard Brexit tw@ts by having a more balanced majority that makes them largely irrelevant, that has to be a bonus.
If it leads to yet more billionaires, serfdom and victimisation, then less so. I'm not holding my breath.
A new sensible centre ground opposition party and moderate social consensus rising out of the festering ashes of nuke-labour would be nice. At least then we would get a proper choice.
I'd sooner vote for the freshly exhumed corpse of Jimmy Savile over the current incumbents. What a pack of craven, criminal c*nts they are. Totally bought and paid for by finance and big business.
Still, two months of viewing their 'policies' through the prism of the likes of Rothermere, Desmond and Barclay should see them back with an even greater majority.
The electorate - turkeys quite happy to keep voting for Christmas.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

UKIP to step back and ask supporters to vote Conservative.
Very good strategy.
Quite a lot of UKIP voters switched from Labour. Bit of a stretch to get them to vote Tory.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

I'd suggest that's where UKIP derived their core support, Doc. Labour's headlong pursuit of some woolly pastiche of Universalism/Internationalism left hundreds of thousands, if not millions of what used to be regarded as Labour's natural constituency with nowhere else to go.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.
