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

46. I've met some.

People - and certainly not least activists - can have blind spots in the most unexpected and disturbing places sometimes.

Give it a rest, Ken. There's only so many hours in the day, and although it's easy to click away and go do something else, it's hard to let counterfactual statements stand unchallenged repeatedly.

And, BTW, to respond to a cry of yours elsewhere on this thread, I don't think anyone is seriously trying to stop you posting here.

But when most of this post has been taken up with revisiting issues that have been thrashed out repeatedly in the past - often involving you - and your posts have dominated - yet again - in terms of length and frequency if not sense and veracity, it's rather wearing and it's hard to avoid the conclusion that we'd all be better spending our time on something else other than having to remind you over and over and over again:

(a) what's been discussed here over the last couple of years, since you sometimes don't seem to bother to read responses properly, let alone remember them;

(b) the fact that we on DU who live in the UK tend to see things differently and are usually more familiar with the issues and social dynamics at play than those who don't.

You started this post with a question.

As usual, the discussion widened, generally into areas that have a direct bearing on what might happen if there was an election soon. You often took what people were saying as a criticism of the sainted Corbyn before anybody'd even mentioned him! Just as you took my earlier comments as being driven by SNP partisanism when I was simply pointing out the dynamics at play in current polling and the hole Labour are digging for themselves (it was very late on before I mentioned the SNP myself, and that a self-evident observation about party funding and the prospects for their whittling away at Scottish Tory seats).

I think you can take it as read that we know how you feel about Corbyn and Labour by now. Maybe try saying something new?

If you don't want people to chime in with opinions, don't ask questions.
