DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 News was saying there could be a General Election in November - can't see it myself - I know the Tories have been divided but they'll rally around whoever is their new leader. Why on earth would they go for another Election when they have a majority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would they go for another Election when they have a majority? Because they'd win by a landslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I can't see Corbyn surviving this either, which ought to kick off another fight amongst the Labour party. The Tories will probably put aside their differences and get on with it, therefore fancying their chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairn Terrier Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It'll have to be a Leaver from the Cabinet. Michael Gove is the least cunty option and that really is saying something. Never thought I would hear these words. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't have anticipated this even last week but what's happened with the referendum result and Cameron is a game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Rumours that 55 Labour MPs have signed a letter calling on Corbyn to go. From the looks of it a lot of Labour areas were heavy Leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Because they'd win by a landslide. Under the new rules, Governments can no longer call early General Elections. The only way a vote will happen before 2020 is if there is a Vote of No Confidence, even then it has to be (I think) a 2/3 majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that law could quickly be changed by a simple majority vote. If the Tories on both sides thought it was beneficial for this to happen then it could happen quite quickly. Don't know about the HoL position in this and if it could be a fly in the ointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
