UK Politics Thread

Take the Peterborough By-Election recently, if Fiona Onaysanya had quit Labour and agreed to a By-Election based on an ideological fall out (rather than the actual reasons for why there was an election), and stood as an independent, chances are she would have been trounced, an more of than not, simply for the sin of not having the party backing.

Fair enough, and that does make a lot of sense considering the wider approach people take to electing their reps in the UK.

Are you mad ? They're not going to make that mistake again especially with a buffon like Boris and the fact that LD's a remain too

UK Politics  a different beast to be fair. Don't forget  Boris won't necessarily have a majority in Parliament . Plenty of people waiting in the long grass for him.

No way does he keep both. That's one of his main problems. 

Many thought Stewart would be gone yesterday but as said last week there's a public appeal about him, I feel if he survives tonight he'll go far into the voting.

Boris doing the right thing by avoiding the cameras still like the plague, the longer he stays quiet the more chance he has of winning.
