loginandtonic Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Meanwhile Ken livingstone on the news say the election will be May 2010. So what do we reckon are the chances of an early election & how can one be called if Brown keeps saying no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 April or May 2010, unless the need to do something about the public finances becomes mega-pressing, in which case it could happen at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't and Cameron can see his chances evaporating as we come out of recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loginandtonic Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Coming out of recession by May 2010, I dont think so, be v surprised if its not even midway point then, but maybe i'm just a negative realist Well ok i'll take old Haguey seriously, i've added the within 6 wks option - back to the poll responders..... (maybe the tories have the laxative to shift Brown) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Bart' Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 What chance? No chance. It can't and Cameron can see his chances evaporating as we come out of recession. Surely the election has to be held by 2010, not 2020? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Deflation Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 People shouldn't confuse when we will have a general election to when we should have one. We should have one today. Is there not a legal process, some sort of vote of no confidence, that a member of the public can pursue in order to force a general election? Surely there must be - otherwise it's a dictatorship. Anyway, it's a lovely day. I'm not going to allow myself to be wound up by the state of this country. I'm going for a jog, then mowing the lawn, then sitting in the garden to enjoy the sun and read a good book - maybe Littlejohn's Britain by Richard Littlejohn.
