DougJamie Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 You were fast off the mark..................... The one thing we can rely May to do is exactly the opposite of what she said she would do..... Tories will win by a massive majority and Corbyn is finished ( so its not all bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 This'll be interesting.................... Conservatives to win by a landslide.............. Labour to be slaughtered.................. Mr Corbyn unemployed.............. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 This may (pardon the pun) be a master stroke by May. She will slaughter Corbyn & blow apart the Labour party. No other credible opposition , she can then say she has a mandate to do what she pleases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's a better person to change their mind than stubbornly stick with what was said previously. Grasp the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougJamie Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I actually think its the right thing for May to do- she is 15/20 points ahead- UKIP is obsolete, Labour is in chaos , and she obviously wants to show she is an elected PM.. No brainer- Wonder how Scotland will react, its not that Tories/ Lab have much to lose up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Bring it on - 3 more seats to win, then a second IndyRef! This is the PM who said she wasn't going to call an early General Election but circumstances change so any objections the Tories want to put forward about a second IndRef have just vanished. The choice is plain - Independence or permaTory rule! Edited April 18, 2017 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 ELECTION means OPPORTUNITY for SNP. Bad news for Labour in Scotland. Bad news for Tories in Scotland. Of course - I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiecat Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 General bit of posturing if you ask me, they are already in power and don't need to waste our money on an election. Maybe Mrs., May got a wee bit upset when Ms., Sturgeon acted like a wee schoolchild when she said "At least i was elected, she wisnae" English-up their own arse- Conservative government v Scottish-up their own arse- national party government, much the same really, they both want to cut money and take more money from me. The lesser of the two evils is probably SNP for me, simply because they might invest more in Scotland than the English will. There was no need for an election to show how crap the Labour party are, they do that well enough themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougJamie Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Have to admit its the right call for the Tories and apart from the Liberals gaining seats its going to be the Tories by 100 seats.... We have the locals here in 3 weeks and then the GE 4 weeks later, and of course if the Tories manage more than 1 seat it will be painted that Indy 2 is just a dream in Sturgeons head..... Which until we see the realities- it is The hypocrisy of politics is great stuff. But thank god it will kill off Corbyn and Labour can take the long long road to recovery............... Be surprised if they get any seats in Scotland, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
