Snap General Election called

Been debated hasn't it? Still don't think a GE can be forced unless I've missed summat.

It has, but it's about the only way of registering our opinion, now that demonstrations are illegal
And no, only Tory MPs can force a GE; but again, this is about our only avenue to show our opinion - and the larger it gets, the harder it is to ignore.

Krishnan Guru-Murthy caught on a hot mike after interviewing Steve Baker saying, "What a cunt."

Peston agrees (though not necessarily about Baker)

The lettuce outlasted her. Excellent.

ah ok. Thought there might be something more to it.

So far, the only people who have put their names forward for the contest are Suella Braverman and Kemi Badenoch.

I want Liz Truss back.

Kemi outlasted Suella in the last contest - presumably this will happen again?

Of course - without Truss - these two might be the only far right candidates, so they might get quite a few more votes. Unless the MPs have realized that economic extremism is not a winner at the moment.

You know, I genuinely don't know how I feel about that. On the one hand, anyone but Badenoch and Braverman, because they are literally Satan. But on the other, Boris's brand of bluster and whimsy might be strong enough that he could recover this for the Conservatives - lord knows he's got some kind of charisma that appeals to voters for some reason.

I'd settle for Mordaunt. Probably the least actively evil, competent enough not to flush the whole country away, not competent enough to realistically resurrect Conservative election hopes.

Whoever is next will be the 5th in 6 years. Absolutely insane.

I want Boris back purely for the absurdity of it. It would be life imitating satire at its finest.

this is doing the rounds


The Germans are loving this - they are the homeland of Schadenfreude after all.

[Ross. S]

What a total shit show. Boris managed covid parties lasting longer than Truss's tenure.

We need a General Election ASAP, get shot of the Tories, anyone would be better

[Son of Mathonwy]

100 vote threshold! Why not go the whole hog and make it FPTP!

This would make Sunak and Mordaunt look the likely winners but with Tory MPs who knows? One of Braverman and Badenoch will have to stand aside otherwise they'll both go out (so hopefully they'll both stand). But if Ben Wallace gets involved who knows what'll happen. Maybe no one would get 100.

The odds seem to be moving towards him.....51 now supporting him.

[Puja]

If that were replicated in an election, the Conservatives would keep just 15 seats, none of which would be held by any of Boris, Mordaunt, Sunak, Badenoch, Bravermann, or Wallace (or Truss for that matter, although she would have the distinction of losing to the Lib Dems). Sadly, Christopher Chope would remain safe.

Oooh look, tory's favourite fake-fear - voter fraud

I have been wondering how on earth they were planning on doing electronic voting even remotely securely in just over a week. Still, not like it's an important decision or anything, is it?
