Re: The one and only UK 2024 election thread - July 4
From memory 3rd quarter 2024 election was the longest odds at the bookies. No one was picking this date. Going asap means the Tories lose less seats, but that's been true since they got rid of Big Dog, more true since Truss, and more true for the last year of failure. On the other hand, if they wer...
