Any theories as to how long May can delay a new election?

34. OK.

And I'm not the mortal enemy of the SNP, for whatever it's worth-it might be worth working out a strategic arrangement between Labour and the SNP on some ridings-there would probably have to be an agreement not to push for a second Indyref for at least a couple of years, in exchange for which Labour would probably be expected to grant the kind of powers to Holyrood it has so far consistently refused to devolve.

The Tories could oust May...but who've they got who'd do better?

Boris and Gove are, if anything, less popular with the electorate than May is.

And while Ruth Davidson would probably be the possibility you'd suggest, do you think a party as Anglocentric and homophobic as the Tories could ever bring itself to choose a Scottish lesbian who's not currently an MP as their leader? They'd probably have to call an immediate election if they did choose her(the DUP would almost immediately withdraw its support, for obvious religious/ideological reasons). Do you think they could channel enough dark money to chance it?
