xtothez posted:They have 18 MP's now iirc, and a bare-minimum cabinet consists of a PM & 22 ministers, not including junior ministers, whips, etc. If they were to win power then of course they'd have enough MP's, but they'd be filling top positions with people who have likely never been an MP or even been to Westminister before. That's such a bad recipe for a new government I'm not sure Armando Iannucci would have written about it. Nobody cares about lack of experience at top level though, unless of course it's Jeremy 'only a backbencher who achieved nothing in 30 years' Corbyn (which I personally know is bollox but hey ho).

I've seen it said a few times now that the Windrush scandal was caused by the Blair government. Is this true? I thought the 1999 act made sure the Commonwealth immigrants had full protection and it was the Tories that didn't bring that clause over in their 2014 act.

A not terrible outcome would be the LDs being ablative armour in a coalition if their coalition demand is to revoke A50 and cancel Brexit. It’s a black box now though: nobody knows: 1. How many people will actually vote 2. How much LDs and Brexit will take votes from the main parties 3. Whether Boris can energise the Gammons enough to vote for him in a way they didn’t for May 4. Whether the Labour Manifesto will enthuse people again like it did in 2017

Tonty Blair destroyed all their boarding passes personally, and they weren't destroyed 50 years after Windrush due to standard civil service policy. The man's a poo poo but no, the Windrush scandal was 100% Tory racism and could have been solved by not assuming that Black people 'aren't from here'.

Wycombe is a historical Conservative seat that’s been blue since 1951, with Steve Baker a veteran of two successful elections in 2010 and 2015, where in the latter he increased his majority to a shade under 15,000 2017 majority: 6,578 Change ... is possible? He's one of the dodgy 'spartans', so I could potentially see that 6.2% swing happening, especially if we got a 15% swing last time. Really depends if people are buying into the yellow tories (lol at the -20% swing in 2015). Dammit I might have to actually get involved with local politics rather than making glib comments on the internet.

I thought most of the gammons did vote for May? There was a huge collapse in the UKIP vote and most of it bled out to the Tories. With any luck the Brexit party will absorb a lot of the extreme Tory base and the Lib Dem’s will absorb the more centre inclined.
