1. Should we start the countdown now? 368 days to go.

2. At least the queues to the polls might be fun.

3. 1) Dark nights, potentially rainy and definitely cold. Many would rather get the kids straight home from nursery or sitters and won’t go back out.

   2) Newly gerrymandered constituencies ensuring much better chances for Tories and, at least, poorer chances for Labour.

   3) Voter ID that many will be unaware of. This will disproportionally affect younger voters and poorer voters. All of whom are unlikely to vote Tory.

   Two ways to prevent voting against them and another to make sure that the votes of those who do don’t count.

   Labour are ahead PURELY due to Tories bad performance and Starmer looks increasingly Tory and is reneging on his promises daily.

   The combination of gaming the system and a poor opposition COULD result in a bad outcome for the people.

   We’re back to how politics used to be ie couldn’t get a fag paper between ‘em..

4. Lol – who knows? Maybe aye, maybe naw.

   Will be interesting if they will be ok with guisers in fancy dress!

5. Smart move, hold an election on the day the portal to Hell is open to maximise the Tory vote.
