She can't call a general election with a fixed term parliament. She needs Labour to agree to it - can anyone rely on Labour backbenchers to vote for execution? It's gonna be a horrible mess if this is what it is - potentially the biggest shambles in living memory. Could we end up with Queenie asking Corbyn to form a government? Or maybe the Queen wants to retire? How would that be announced? | ![](/images/avatars/4962.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Labour have said they will agree to vote to overturn the fixed term in order to have an early election. | ![](/images/avatars/17111.gif) |

Corbyn and rebel backbenchers both want it for different reasons. Other idea being floated is that she is ill and resigning. | ![](/images/avatars/6600.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

General Election? on 11:27 - Apr 18 with 9457 views | Hunterhoop | I fail to see how this is in the best interests of the UK population. We have less than 2 years to negotiate one of the complex and most important negotiations in our island's history, where millions of jobs could be impacted, and we're now going to fanny around for two months with an election in order to bolster the Conservative majority. Silver linings being it could end Corbyn, thereby helping speed up Labour's return to being an effective opposition, and the Lib Dems may win a few seats back. | ![](/images/avatars/2027.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

If Labour hang onto the North and the Lib twáts gain ground in the South, which they will, this could be an almighty blunder. Don't get why they didn't wait until they'd changed the boundaries. | ![](/images/avatars/6823.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I know you don't like "The Lib Dems", but you do realise you are a Liberal? Practically everyone in western society is a liberal, either a social liberal, economic liberal, or both. | ![](/images/avatars/2027.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
