You need a 2/3rds majority vote to call an election, or lose a confidence motion. So unlikely that whoever the next pm is gets to call an election on their terms.

You can call an election early by getting a 2/3 vote in parliament, having a simple majority vote of no confidence in the government, or by repealing the act itself. It's not worth the paper it's written on, turns out.

basically, yea. A soft brexit is functionally not really a brexit, you stay in the EU market and don't totally seal your borders off. Maybe you get to be a little more draconian in who you let in but you'll still likely have to let citizens of other EU countries in and all still

Ashfield goes Labour! Conservatives now need to win every remaining seat to retain their majority, so one more loss and it's official.

edit: I mean, I know BBC has already announced it's hung, but I experienced November 2016 so I need solid poo poo.


Also, love all these interviews on Sky with people wrapping up tables in the background.

It's frankly astounding how badly the Tories have hosed up over these last two years. The Brexit referendum will go down in history as the worst mistake a European leader has made since Operation Barbarossa.

They need to lose 1 for a technical hanging. 8 for a practical hanging.
