That’s a good point tbh, I am pretty powerless to stop her

Maybe she could announce that she’s going to ask parliament to do that? Or give her opinion on Radiohead’s problems at Coachella.

#44

No. But she could annnounce she’s intending to ask parliament to vote for an election; and I don’t see how Labour or the SNP could sensibly block it

Imagine if the Queen has died - bank holiday heaven this month! And another!

If it is a dead royal - shall we delete this thread and start an appropriately sombre one?

By voting against it? Of course Labour probably would vote for an election anyway…

Likelihood of a 2nd referendum?

Home rule for Northern Ireland also seems a sensible call. But seems like an odd thing to just spring in an announcement.

Islam to be banned in retaliation for Muslims removing the word “Easter” from everything last week.

This is one of the reasons I’d have thought she’d want to keep a relatively ineffective Labour with decent numbers in opposition - if she has a large majority, she has to own everything and has nothing in her back pocket to keep the back benches in check, plus it would probably be enough to tip the balance against Corbyn, meaning the possibility of a more effective opposition leader - which would actually be more troublesome for her than a divided opposition is at the moment.

The only reason I can think for her going for an election is if she’s worried that she can’t keep enough of her own troops in line through Brexit negotiations and needs more numbers.

actually…

referendum on Irish unification?

Maybe she wants to declare that now she really wants Birmingham City relegated
