    Yeah, the fact that Fife NE went to recount is proof that the LDs haven't made much progress in Scotland.

    I really don't want Boris as PM though. And we really cannot bloody take a delay for a Tory leadership election, nor do they want another coronation.

    Lab set up well for stonking win in 2022 no matter what. (or a win in 2017 if another election happens).

    Assuming a conservative government, that is the key point. Given the Brexit timetable (which I'm pretty certain won't be relaxed by our EU interlocutors), there really not much time to mess around, so it has to happen quickly.
