Well, what's your predictions for the UK general elections?

My prediction is a close call between the blues and the reds.

But, what I am hoping for is a sharp interest in the Greens and a sudden spike in their seated numbers....

It's a bit more interesting this year, with Foodbanks becoming part of society the mood feels ready for change.

What do you think?

I am not supposed to have a political opinion at work, so it's hard to talk about it there. More of a nod to my left then a comment from me in the office!

I think the tories are going to get a proper clobbering.

The country’s a shambles because of their 14 years or so of mismanagement.

What or who determines the date of the UK general elections?

Whenever the Prime minister feels it's the right time, they can ask for one. But there are other rules, it's not so simple as I've said it.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'll say it's about time that labour made big gains

Doesn’t 4th July sort of collide with Scottish school holidays?

If so, then it’s a very dubious date to hold the vote…

Well, because when the schools are on Summer holidays, lots of people go abroad on vacation. Which means they are less likely to go and vote (or arrange the matters).
