Pretty sure it can be repealed with just a normal majority.surbiton said:Am I correct in saying that the Fixed Parliament Act can only be repealed by a vote requiring two-thirds majority.
This would be fun. Losing a Finance Bill vote would no longer lead to the government's resignation.0 -
I know its not going to happen, but it would be pretty amusing if we ended up with a scenario with the big two on 275-280, the SNP on 45+, a second election is held soon afterwards when no arrangement could be made, and the SNP went straight back to 5-10. It would confuse plenty of people, that's for sure.0

The answer is in your post. The Tories being 8% ahead means they will be losing seats in England.AndyJS said:Bit of a puzzle: Tories 8 points ahead in England with Opinium, Labour heading for disaster in Scotland, and yet the reds are 3 points ahead overall with YouGov...

Agreed. I had considered that as I am more and more convinced that a 2nd election is becoming inevitable as the first result would be unworkable. I also think he will to a point because everything he has done is to get that top spot. He will though be like Brown. When he gets there he won't know what he will do. He will have to rely on parties he would prefer not too. The SNP know this and will capitalise.hunchman said:

Of course if he doesn't and as a result the Tories remain in power wounded on confidence and supply that could cause problems with his own supporters who may drift further left to the greens.

If both thought it was not in their interests for it to be in place? Sure. Personally I find a lot of the criticisms of the act hysterical, or things that already existed, but it was a very political piece of legislation for a specific scenario, and I would be shocked if someone wasn't suggesting that as an option depending on the outcome already; neither has any commitment to the thing, I am sure, not even if it means working with the other to repeal it..Scott_P said:Would Labour and the Tories join forces to repeal the FTPA?

This doesn't look like an appetising election to win, for whomsoever. Cameron overshadowed by an EU referendum and the Tory succession- never mind a weak economy (BTW- the UK economy has grown, but on the back of low wages, immigration and a flexible labour market that predominantly helps capital but gives the workers little back in return), and Miliband- who still has a a fundamentally weak economy, and who has most of his shadow team despising him, and waiting for him to trip up.
This is not 1997- a good election to win. Or 1992- a good election to lose.0 -

Yet more reasons why it would never happen, I know, but it would be hilarious if they were not expecting it, hence letting the government, and then it happened anyway. I can just imagine the fixed grin of whoever won (Labour presumably if it was based on the SNP returning to pre2015 form), struggling not to chide the public with 'why didn't you come up with that in the first place, idiots?'hunchman said:

Just sent you a PM. Nothing serious, just chatter about old times :-)welshowl said:@Richard Tyndall
Not really but knew several that were. Bit wary of naming names in public - doesn't seem fair on them. I have little doubt we must have mutual acquaintances. Bill Rammel ( ex minister for universities and MP for Harlow) was Union president when I arrived ( that's in the public domain). I recall too one politico once put a union minibus in a ditch, Labour getting utterly wiped out in a student election as they didn't understand STV. I can also recall a well known current Welsh politician face down next to his curry in the Himalaya on Wellfield Rd. Apparently one of the Labour firebrands of the time went off and made a fortune in PR and now lives in a big pile in Surrey (!) . All good stuff.
Gair Rhydd is still going and had a 40th anniversary edition recently where I and some friends gleefully pointed out some headlines we remembered (eg the minibus incident above) to friends' kids who are students there now (God I'm old!).
As I learnt to PM yesterday ( thanks to Tabman). PM me if you like.

Yes, it is a tricky situation. Labour would require the SNP to repeal the act, but the SNP are highly unlikely to want to repeal it given they would be holding Ed's balls. So they would have to turn to the Tories but the Tories would prefer Ed to limp on for a few months with Nicola holding his balls, so I don't see why they would repeal it until they have a new leader in place and a new team to present to the country. It could lead to a Belgium like situation where there is basically no effective government for a while and the civil service effectively run the country on the budgets and plans currently in place.surbiton said:

Deadline for registering to vote is this Monday.
From Tuesday, will pollsters ask everyone sampled whether they are registered to vote? And then exclude anyone who isn't from their voting intention numbers?

Sometimes I think the public as a whole don't really know what's going on with politics - why would they, it's for weirdos outside election time - but if they are predicting it will be a dead heat, collectively that shows plenty of sense. 32% seems a little low though.0

There's something on the front of the Independence about the parties preparing for a second election.

I think that would lead to a massive wipeout for Labour in England after two years of a bruising alliance with the SNP. Labour would need the unions to step in and fund an October election with a new leader. It may be that both Ed and Dave will be ousted for a new election, but as I said I don't see the Tories going into an election unless they are certain they can win, which means new leader and Ed in being held in place by Nicola.Artist said:There's something on the front of the Independence about the parties preparing for a second election.

Good post. I doubt very much if the SNP get circa 50 seats they would want an election anytime soon for the rationale you said. They will want to bask in their day of sun for as long as possible. So Labour 255-260 pretty much seals the deal for maybe 5 years even, because even Con plus LD's and the rest doesn't cut it.
The Tories need to get to 295 seats at least to remain in power- counting 25 LD's and the DUP.
The path to power for Labour is just so much easier- they can afford to be 40 seats behind, and still call the shots.0 -

'David Cameron last night issued a desperate appeal to voters in the Rochester by-election to vote tactically to keep out Ukip – as a poll showed the anti-EU party with a 12-point lead.
In a highly unusual move, the Prime Minister urged Labour, Liberal Democrat and even Green supporters to lend their votes to the Tory candidate Kelly Tolhurst to prevent a ‘Ukip boost, and all the uncertainty and instability that leads to’.'

I can see situations where Labour launch a vote of no confidence hoping to lose it - and telling their MPs to vote against it - to enable a general election - but the Tories and SNP vote in favour (i.e. they have confidence)!MaxPB said:
Yes, it is a tricky situation. Labour would require the SNP to repeal the act, but the SNP are highly unlikely to want to repeal it given they would be holding Ed's balls. So they would have to turn to the Tories but the Tories would prefer Ed to limp on for a few months with Nicola holding his balls, so I don't see why they would repeal it until they have a new leader in place and a new team to present to the country. It could lead to a Belgium like situation where there is basically no effective government for a while and the civil service effectively run the country on the budgets and plans currently in place.surbiton said:
So, to repeal you need a simple majority but to call another election, you need two-thirds majority ! Great !MaxPB said:
No it can be repealed with a simple majority.surbiton said:Am I correct in saying that the Fixed Parliament Act can only be repealed by a vote requiring two-thirds majority.
This would be fun. Losing a Finance Bill vote would no longer lead to the government's resignation.

Yep. Tories seem to be resting their hopes on the fact Labour won't like having to rely on the SNP, but they didn't like relying on the LDs either, and though Lab-SNP likely wouldn't be a full coalition agreement, there are plenty of reasons for both of them not to want to go to the polls again quickly, and as Con-LD have proven, you can last a full term pretty easily if that remains the case.tyson said:

"George Osborne's economic management has drawn praise from the head of the IMF and Germany's finance minister."
Speaking in Washington last night, IMF chief Christine Lagarde argued that while the global economy as a whole had exhibited a "moderate and uneven" return to growth which was "simply not good enough," looking at individual nations' growth rates showed that "it’s obvious that what happened in the UK has worked".
Meanwhile, the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, said that while he was reluctant to judge the performance of any other EU member state, "the UK has done a very good job in the last few years and Osborne has a very good plan for the future".
