This year I've made a concerted effort to stop binge consuming politics because it's such a time suck and debating with others rarely is that productive (except on this forum which is a rare exception).
However, no matter how unlikely, the idea of Corbyn leading this country strikes more fear into me than Trump, sigh, time to lose a few friends on social media.
Anybody really falling out over politics isn't a true friend anyway, maybe it's just a good excuse to sort out the wheat from the chaff!! |

'Now is not the time' for Scotland but its ok we can have a GE cos we'll probably win
gg Corbyn
Nicely timed though, still a fair bit of Brexit buoyancy about before anything bad can happen and if she gets 5 years then even if it goes awfully she's got a while after to sell it/recover

I did, however, see two lifelong friends and business partners call each other c**ts on Facebook after Brexit and they ended their business as a result, which is an image I'll never be able to forget. |

Really clever move by May. Will give her more power - will use it as an additional mandate for next 2-3 years. Tories will have a bigger majority. Sees through the changes coming without looking over her shoulder at what may come in a GE.
Striking whilst opposition at its weakest.

What option did he have? If he refused he loses whatever support he had left from Labour moderates IMO and they would be calling for him to go. His best strategy is to go balls to the wall crazy promises ala Bernie Sanders and Trump |

In an ideal world he would but he can't There would be too many obstacles to overcome taking that line His best GTO move is to embrace the election as it's going to happen regardless |

Surely he humiliates her by just saying no you can't do that. Why would it happen regardless? We have an act of parliament where she needs a two thirds majority(?) to overturn. She hasn't got it. If everyone is saying it is a good move for her, it is bad for him. So just say no. |

So just say no.
The only people that has has left are his core supporters but surely even they couldn't withstand their man passing up what they perceive to be a realistic shot at unseating the conservatives |

The smartest move for labour would be to change their stance on brexit and steal the lib dems USP, that is their only shot at this election I reckon.

If he says no, then the Tories submit a motion of no confidence - there is precedence, happened in Germany in 2005. That only has to pass by 1 vote. |
