UK General Election 2017
Looks like it is going to go down again. Theresa May is throwing down the gauntlet, and if it passes parliament, we are onboard for a general election. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-39628713
Let's start debating who has the best policies, the best outcome for the country and the political gains and losses foreseen.

Labour is dead, SNP corraled, UKIP irrelevant, Lib dem shackled to a lost cause.
Without a split the Conservative victory is guaranteed. With the opposition as they are; it's hard to say they shouldnt win.

Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

I think the snap election is due to current investigation where Election Expenses Fraud is looking to result in the need of 23 narrow-margin Conservative seats to be re-elected.
A new general election with the government on the offensive would give a far better result than being on the defensive in by-elections as a result of election fraud and losing their majority.

ABSOLUTE MADMAN

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Voted for Corbyn, in the sense that he's slightly, slightly closer to my beliefs than the rest of the circus.
Like in the rest of W. Europe, there is no equivalent to CPG, the party I vote in Greece.
At least, Corbyn seems to like Hezbollah and Syria.
EDIT: What's up with that Paul Nuttall guy? Is he more or less charismatic than his populist predecessor?

Less charismatic and known for his Paul Nuttall facts, such as being present at the Moon Landings. He invents things about his background to try to influence the electorate and got caught up big time with Hillsborough.
UKIP as a party is pretty dead. The voters will probably move Conservative if Brexit is still their key issue.
