You are on the wrong thread? Do you not know the day that the UK chose for their election? I think the Tories are on the wrong thread. They set the date.

No, that is ten days later. You are mixing up your foreign holidays. Think fireworks and Mom's Apple Pie.
UK has elections?
Who knew, eh.

They seem to be accrediting us with the idea. Why else would they hold them on the Fourth of July?

It is one of our many traditions. Nothing actually changes of course, it is just theatre.

It was the soonest date Sunak could come up with to get the hell out.

Just watched the latest Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on the UK election. Well worth a watch (on Sky or NOW in the UK). Classic rundown on the last 14 years of Tory nonsense, including this classic clip (which I'd almost forgotten) in which Boris Johnson, while being confronted by an angry parent about the NHS, lies that there are 'no press here' while literally being filmed by the press.

At the moment, perhaps an hour before the first polls are reported, exit polling is suggesting a Labour landslide at 410 of the 650 seats, with Conservatives far behind at 131. If true, that's a massive shift!
But can Labour really make a lot of progress, needing to get things through the Lords?

They will appoint vast numbers of Peers, then totally reform the place.
