July election confirmed as date clashes with Euros and school holidays
July election confirmed as date clashes with Euros and school holidays
Rishi Sunak said UK voters will go to the polls on July 4 - coinciding with major football events and the summer holidays.
In yet another who cares about Scotland action from the Tories: when the big getaway starts we're holding an election. Meaning polling staff will be harder to round up, votes will be down, and even counts will be short handed. Postal vote applications to be through the roof.
The SNP likely in trouble with a reduced turnout, last few by-election results have indicated not that people are switching from Yes parties to Bitter Together. They just aren't voting. Anywho, a serious prospect of Tories being flung out UK wide, some predictions of less than 100 seats and Starmer getting a majority the biggest ever seen since The Great Reform Act
Anyone brave enough to give some Scottish seat predictions in the comments?
when the big getaway starts
Dinnae talk pish. Because of the Tories naecunt can afford to go on their jollies any more 😂
Part of me thinks the choice of 4 July is designed to try and help the SNP, in a bid to stifle Labour's resurgence in Scotland.
Partly because it gives them something to moan about, and partly so they can campaign on an "Independence Day" angle :-)
I'll need a postal vote myself, but I applied yesterday and it was dead simple tbh, only takes a few minutes online - https://www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote
Polling suggests Tories might gain two or three seats in Scotland. There's some that were close last time, and without the SNP holding the same popularity as last time, they might swing over the margin.
For all their utter collapse of support, some places are just too right wing to vote labour and reform are not getting votes in Scotland is seems.
Reform on zero seats calling it now
Let's hope that holds true across the country.
Whilst it's hilarious how they've scuppered the conservatives chances at the election, they've done a lot of damage to our society along the way.
