Will there be another UK election soon?

Internal Conservative Party maneuvering has just forced out Fiona Hill and Nick Timothy, who were Thereasa May's closest advisers, showing that she is so far from a 'strong and stable' position that it is laughable. The Tories currently have the tiniest of majorities and only because of the DUP coalition. The DUP are ultra-hard right Christian Conservatives and will annoy a huge number of social liberals in thee Conservative's base. No major Conservative figure is backing May and all of her enemies in the party are laying into her publicly with impunity.

I am hoping this can't last and I am also hoping Labour can win the next election.

Sorry to Brenda from Bristol 😜:

Fiona Hill and Nick Timothy, who were Thereasa May's closest advisers, and they should be sacked for taking the public as fools. May had another 3 years to run on her term as prime minister but she thought she was way above the average person and tried to sucker the people to vote for her well it FAILED

Can they keep holding elections until
They get the results they like?

Perhaps hire some Russians to spearfish some names??

What's odd about the results is that the Tories got 49% of the vote, which would normally give a huge majority. Labour got about 40% of the vote, which was almost the same as Blair got in 2001, giving him a huge majority. The share for other parties has all but disappeared in England. The lesson for the Labour party is maybe they need a strong third party.

@Burnley123: yes, I saw it on BBC, shows I should check a trusted news source first 😉.
Either way, labour would normally expect a majority with that share of the vote.

@Onecharmingman:
@Onecharmingman: They would and its a good performance from Labour. The minor parties did badly, especially UKIP. The Tories only won at all because of the UKIP collapse.

@Burnley123: It's a moral dilemma. I'm delighted the UKIP vote collapsed, not pleased it resulted in a Tory win.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking on Brexit. Looks more likely that we still be trying to decide what we're doing when we get kicked out. Still, no deal is better than a bad deal 🤔

It's one thing living with the results of what [i]some[/i] people declared a stupid thing to do by May. But it's something else when a minority Government only has to enrol the 'help' of the smallest minority of their choice to make the figures up. So we get stuck with the DUP who, in real terms NO ONE wanted in the first instance ???? And they call this democracy?

A second Tory Government that cannot run on it's own steam and we all know that happened to the broken, shattered Lib Dem's after their 'political marriage' to Clegg. I'd rather go back to the Polls and hope for a clear majority rather than this comic opera

@thatscottishguy: it's very strange times when a right wing Tory PM is getting slated by the police.
