Wasn't Major because the five years were up?
Trouble is he's very much someone who thinks everything should be run by private enterprise and given a profit incentive because it leads to better performance. Even though it's never proven to be the case.
So expect even more public stuff being privatised if he got in, and the NHS would be very much at risk, either outright or through more covert outsourcing to private 'partners'.

Well election was April, 87 was June. It's hardly the killer early election you're aiming for!He still had another 3 months on the ticker. Tories usually choose their elections in April, though.
From what I can remember, this is the month when they believe they have the highest percentage of people who will vote for them on the electorate roles compared to people voting for other parties.
I saw someone on the TV the other day saying "yes, he's a liar and untrustworthy, but I like him. He's a bit of a lad."

With a third of the electorate not bothering to turn up.Think you can pencil in April '24 as the next election date.
I think it’s Pete in the photo.You taking the photo though Pete ?
Based on previous comments, I’d have thought Al will be calling for an election as soon as he leaves office.Think you can pencil in April/May '24 as the next election date.

And a lot of the seats being set in stone anyway.
We need compulsory voting and PR ASAP.
I have never liked PR.Which 'PR' though. Each have their own flavour and problems.
People do have the right to vote. I don't agree with compulsory voting, which they do in Australia. It is a choice of any party being acceptable to the voter.
I have always registered to vote, but not always cast a vote for something like 20 years until a flurry of recent referenda.
Just no one to vote for.
It’s definitely Jeremy hunt not meI think it’s Pete in the photo.
Compulsory voting would be fine ifPeople do have the right to vote. I don't agree with compulsory voting, which they do in Australia. It is a choice of any party being acceptable to the voter.

Keep FPTP for constituency MP's/lower houseWhich 'PR' though. Each have their own flavour and problems.
b is an option alreadyCompulsory voting would be fine if
a. it was a public holiday
b. 'none of the above' is an option so it gives a better reflection on the strength of the mandate.
I do believe in giving those who vote a free sausage though.
Like I said a couple of days ago. All the stories will start coming out now press barons have lost the need for him to be their useful idiot. Rehashed old stories and all the stuff that they have been sitting on. I bet we don’t know the half of it.Missing Boris already.
They may not be real people but if my mum and sister are anything to go by it’s all about owning an opinion and having a right to have oneLike I said a couple of days ago.

Jesus wept!Honestly, the comments on there just make me distrust humans, or at least will have me wondering just exactly who I am standing next to at the Lidl checkout in future.

He still is PM.
Has to be one of those strange Russian accounts
What if he delivers 12 or 13 million (like the polls currently show)?
Same as Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 then
Yes, exactly.He still is PM.
He only resigned as Tory leader not as Prime Minister.
But unlike Jeremy Corbyn in 2017 he'd end up as PM.
You would think that it would be the exact right time for the Lib Dems to make a real challenge wouldn't you. The Tories in disarray, the Labour party with what many consider a weak leader in charge and them still reeling from the Corbyn years.Well he won’t necessarily because Ed Davy will be having to put back those blue Lego bricks back and once again end up losing all those bi elections he gained - poor Ed back to enough MPS to till a phone box twice
