"In which case, it has come from the spin doctors somewhere in Whitehall. In whose interests is it to allow the speculation? And wouldn't it require Article 50 to be withdrawn or delayed - the last thing the country needs if it is leaving on March 29 is for Government to effectively close down for six weeks. " Agree, its not needed now and i think its the last thing they want either as a party.. Leadership election will happen before one i reckon.. not surprising there are games within games and plots, they all have them and possibly even more relevant in a divided party.. | |||

"The papers today are full of gossip about a General Election on February 28. How can that be? Mrs May said she would not lead the Conservative Party into the next election. A party leadership election, assuming it is contested, takes weeks. Is this another lie by Mrs May?" nope... if i was a tory it might do two things to help her 1) i'd be tempted to take my chances against corbyn... he is leading labour into a shame as the truth is there party is as divided on europe as the tories are... 2) if we were to get a majority... it means she would be able to tell the DUP to "do one" | |||
"The papers today are full of gossip about a General Election on February 28. How can that be? Mrs May said she would not lead the Conservative Party into the next election. A party leadership election, assuming it is contested, takes weeks. Is this another lie by Mrs May?" Probably yes. It’s all lies. | |||

" And that Labour won more seats than they have in any election since 1997. The story of the last GE was the utter collapse of the Lib Dems. " 1997 - Labour won 418 seats 2001 - Labour won 412 seats 2005 - Labour won 354 seats 2010 - Labour won 258 seats 2015 - Labour won 232 seats 2017 - Labour won 262 seats | |||

"The story of the last GE was the utter collapse of the Lib Dems. " Er, not quite. That would be the 2015 election. In 2017 the Lib Dems actually made a few gains. | |||
"The story of the last GE was the utter collapse of the Lib Dems. Er, not quite. That would be the 2015 election. In 2017 the Lib Dems actually made a few gains." Yes, but remained insignificant. The point was more about their extreme confidence that they would make significant gains, to the extent that they would once again be a serious political force based on their pro-remain stance. | |||
"The papers today are full of gossip about a General Election on February 28. How can that be? Mrs May said she would not lead the Conservative Party into the next election. A party leadership election, assuming it is contested, takes weeks. Is this another lie by Mrs May?" We leave the EU on March 29th and May will be gone soon after.Then we have to have a new leader to lead us in post brexit and destroy Corbyn/Mcdonald before 2022.I would rather we destroy them democratically than let the dark forces of power eliminate them as I believe that is what might happen | |||
"The majority of people in this country will not vote for a left wing government so an election would be a good bet for the tories. " nOt till all the brexit hysterior has died down,better to be safe than sorry. A Corbyn government is a bigger thread to are futures than the worst brexit fears coming true | |||

Anyway if it happens you'll just say "it'll be ok" like you do with Brexit. | |||
" A Corbyn government is a bigger thread to are futures than the worst brexit fears coming true" Project Fear. | |||

There's a big risk that the Scottish Tories will be wiped out having clawed their way back. Certainly a possibility. | |||

"I heard Keir Starmer on the telly saying there simply is not enough time left for the UK to prepare for an exit without an agreement. There's several pieces of legislation that need to be passed to ensure the laws of the UK make sense on March 30 and none of the systems and rules for life at HMRC after the EU will be in place by then. It is a failure of government on a monumental scale. Four years ago, it knew this was a possibility. Two-and-and-half years ago it knew it was a reality. But instead of planning for an exit, the Government built its strategy on the false promises of the referendum campaign - that you can have your cake and eat it. No Deal was repeatedly dismissed by the Leave campaign as Project Fear. When oh when will someone in leadership disown the populist myths of 2016 and level with the public?" No Deal wasn't continually dismissed by the Leave campaign. The very next day after article 50 was triggered people like Nigel Farage were telling the government to prepare for no deal. Theresa May didn't listen and Philip Hammond refused to release the funds at that time to start preparing for it. | |||

"Actually....after the 7 years of Tory rule with the austerity that came with it, Labour should have walked into number 10. I suspect that the reason they didn't was Jeremy Bernard Corbyn." really after all the shit left behind by Blair and brown. Using money we didn't have.People have soon forgot that. The austerity measures brought in were thanks to labour. they took us into a war we didn't need They left the country in a hole.Good old uncle Tony still wants to be EU president to this day. The EU can have him . And there are still some Labour MPS around who were near the top of the big expenses scandal. yes Labour are that good.... Aren't they . | |||
