Apparently May is behaving like a dictator... by asking parliament to vote. On whether we should have an election.
Can't think of anything less democratic, really.

I like the talk that Labour have now sunk so low under Corbyn that they're considered something of a protest vote in this electionOriginally Posted by Sir C
I do struggle with the idea that a politician seeking maximum advantage for her party by calling an election with the permission of Parliament is somehow considered to be cheating. It smacks of 'You can't call an election because we'll lose horribly and that's not fair!'
Is the general annoyance not stemming from TM going back on an earlier claim that she would not do exactly what she has done in respect of calling an early election?
Mind you if one follows politics, which to be annoyed by it all would surely be the case, then to be annoyed by a politician making a complete U turn on an earlier claim or promise is surely not ground breaking.
It is times like this where Jorge is missed as he fumes and rages at the social injustices of a Conservative led Britain.
The Prime Minister's job is to do what she believes to be best for the country first and her party second. She can make a good case that both are best served by her calling an election, so she is entitled - even obliged - to do so. It's not like it was some sort of manifesto pledge or as if the PM has any obligation not to pīss off the opposition. The only people objecting are her opposition, who themselves are doing so for purely party political reasons themselves. Besides, they have the option of voting against this election if they're that bothered - but they're not going to do it.
In short, the objections to her calling an election are böllocks.
Typical bird really - changing her mind all the time. Quite why she vehemently denied she was going to do it so many times is the mystery.
I would agree. Why rule it out? Unless it was to encourage Labour complacency and division until she felt they'd reached a nadir of unpopularity.
As you say, typical bird; they *do* move in mysterious ways their wonders to perform. Anyway, there's no real harm in a dull, stolid crone springing the odd surprise or two. You know, just to keep the thing interesting.

"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Yes, supposedly, but i can't recall a single politician who didn't reverse that order. It might be fair to say that they put themselves first, then their party, then their country.
Cameron! CAMEROON - that's you he's talking about
