Also, will they still hold the election they were going to have next year? There's now no requirement to have another election for a full five years, but it's looking very likely that there will be one sooner. Possibly much, much sooner.

The fact like zero national newspapers covered the UDA shooting and now suddenly they are tripping over themselves to talk about it is the direct inverse of the right wing using the IRA purely to score points against Labour.

Also, will they still hold the election they were going to have next year? Yes and then no. Yes May called for an election because Labour were in in open revolt and she wanted to get more MPs. The next election will be in 5 years unless her government collapses and Liz has to step in.

"Lost their seats and didn't deserve to" Soo.... None of them? goddamnedtwisto posted:Yes, I know that (I spent an unbelievable amount of time explaining this in 2010). I understand your question now. That is interesting. Would it not be one of those things that triggers a constitutional crisis? I mean theoretically she can just skip May and ask Corbyn, right?

SpaceDrake posted:Goddamn this is an exciting time to follow UK politics and I'm glad I'm at least broadly familiar with most of it I'm from the U.S., and I've been following this stuff quite closely over the past couple of weeks because of Corbyn's message. I've learned so much about U.K. politics, but I'm still quite stupid about it. I'll be interested to watch the drama unfold over the next few weeks.

One subtext to pick up on n that telegraph article is that it again singles out one of May's team as being the problem, in this case Fiona Campbell. Every article today that has contained briefings from senior tories has singled out at least one member of her team, and n one case you've had a back bencher calling openly for her to fire her advisors. The Tories smell blood and they're now trying to isolate her.

Miftan posted:"Lost their seats and didn't deserve to" Soo.... None of them? She's already asked May, who assured her she can form a government. If enough Tories rebel against doing a deal with the DUP that's in serious jeopardy. The constitution is pretty clear on what happens next, so there's no crisis: Corbyn as leader of the second largest party gets a shot at forming a government, and if he can't either then we have another election.

Times is reporting in tomorrows edition that Hammond has demanded May fire her advisors. That comes from "sources close to Hammond." So that will be Hammond himself then.

Jose posted:lol if the tories don't have time for a leadership election before another general There'd need to be a vote of No Confidence for another GE, which would only happen if there were Tory rebels (not likely while May is still leader, they know they're toast while she's in charge) or the DUP would have to reason that they're better off not getting into bed with the Tories after all, which might happen but is probably unlikely right now.

I don't know why she would, even if Corbyn wasn't a republican. This came up in Israel a few years ago when the left block had more MPs, but the biggest party was on the right block. It works the same in that the president asks someone to form the government. I was wondering if something like that is even constitutionally possible in the UK because Liz thought that the 2nd biggest party has a better chance of forming a government than the biggest.
