Gideon George Osborne on his podcast said yesterday that losing both safe seats in by-elections would be ‘armageddon’ for the Conservatives. Some rumours today of the dreaded ‘letters of no confidence’ from the 1922 committee, but I suspect there are no candidates who want to lose a general election. So could we be going for a snap election?
Is that rule actually a thing? Because as much as I’m for cooperation between nations I don’t love the idea that our Politics can be delayed because another state is holding an election.
And I’m fairly sure they legally have to call an election once every 5 years right?
