It could happen this year
- 16 June 2014 07:51268128All eyes on next year for the Gen/Election but could they be looking at the wrong year?
I think it could well be called this year because of the bad support the other partys have at this very time,
Lib/dem are out of it anyway.
Reds lost support over not giving the vote to the public over the EU.
And poor old UKIP have missed the boat by not keeping their act going after the EU VOTE.
Very bad timing by them and not for the first time.
So the blues would be right in thinking lets go for it now before the other partys get their acts on the move.
And I think they would win with lots of seats in hand over the rest .
So have your pen ready for the cross. - 16 June 2014 08:55268132Unlikely, that situation no longer exists -
Summary of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011
The Bill fixes the date of the next General Election at 7 May 2015, and provides for five-year fixed terms. It includes provisions to allow the Prime Minister to alter the date by up to two months by Order. There are also two ways in which an election could be triggered before the end of the five-year term:
- if a motion of no confidence is passed and no alternative government is found
- or if a motion for an early general election is agreed either by at least two-thirds of the House or without division - 16 June 2014 09:16268134Even without the new fixed term thing I doubt that Dave would be so foolhardy as to call an election soon.
The polls show the reds and blues neck and neck and polling by Lord Cashrich of Belize shows the reds having a clear lead in marginal seats. - Jan Higgins

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
