I predict they will lose 30+ seats at least tbh. From the two main faces of the independence movement both surrounded by scandal, Humza flopping and now the gay and trans hating religious nut is depute FM, it's almost as bad as the Tories 1
Jack! Posted May 22 Posted May 22 I'm also happy to see the SNP tank even though I want independence. Them taking a hit this election doesn't change the fact they'll still be in power in Holyrood for a while though. 2

Omg what a nightmare lol Maybe I'll vote Labour idk much to think about

makeawish Posted May 22 Posted May 22 idk if i'm just telling people things they already know or not but i think it's fair to point out that this is the first general election where voters will have to bring photocard ID to the polling station to vote. these will NOT include most ID generally issued for young people (student cards, young person's railcards, etc) because those people don't vote tory. passports and driving licences are the main things you can use. if anyone doesn't have ID for these elections, i think the easiest thing to do is apply for a postal vote, which can be done up to 11 working days (a little over 2 weeks) before polling day https://www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote you can also apply for a government ID card but these are new and idk how well tested the application system is https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate

Hunt's allies were unaware enough of the snap election called by Sunak on Wednesday that some feared a rumored big announcement meant that the chancellor was about to be replaced in a reshuffle, according to people familiar with thinking in the Treasury. As the prime minister prepared to reveal his decision in a news conference outside 10 Downing St., Hunt was busy canceling media appearances to speak about the morning's inflation data and shortening a trip to a meeting of Group of Seven finance ministers on Thursday in Italy.
Genius1111 Posted May 23 Posted May 23 I am surprised that there aren't any references to Rain On Me or Firework yet. 1
Chemist Posted May 24 Posted May 24 This is going to be a fun election to follow, unlike the American one

Chemist Posted May 26 Posted May 26 Tories eagerness to lose the upcoming elections is truly aw inspiring
makeawish Posted May 26 Posted May 26 this is one of those things where i'd expect hodges to talk about it like it was some kind of incredible 5D chess move, can't believe they've managed to unite everyone behind how stupid this is (i think they're backing off already in fact?)
Vermillion Posted May 26 Posted May 26 National service? I've been so distracted by U.S. chaos but this actually got my attention What a cluster**** BYE Tories 1
