Next UK General Election thread

[Antonio the Sixth]

Seems the Tories now want to seek a formal coalition with the DUP. But the DUP won't negotiate on Sundays.

Hahaha of course

ROFL

IT'S HAPPENING

This is what could happen if that first poll was to (somehow) happen:

http://www.electionpolling.co.uk/swingometer/2017?CON=39&LAB=45&LD=7

According to this, Labour needs a 0.77-point lead in order to catch up the Tories in terms of seats (with a uniform swing of 1.59). That's bad, but not too bad.

They need a 7.22-point lead to win an absolute majority. Tories only need a 3.29-point lead. Now THAT is bad.

On Theresa May resigning as Prime Minister following the General Election result:

Support: 45%
Oppose: 48%

(via Survation, 16 - 17 Jun)

I'll take a narrow right-wing plurality over what we've been looking at for the past 3+ years.

Looks like the time is ripe.

I would be very curious to see a poll of Scotland on Westminster vote intention. I wouldnt be surprised to see a major crash in support for the SNP since the election and a return to Labour

One can only hope...
