I'm in once the new govt is formed.

If anyone sees Young Maryport going about his business - just don't tell him about this, alright?

This could be a short one.Will be more significant though as by-elections have suddenly become much much more significant!Shame Winnick has gone from a by  election bingo perspective!He and Salmond are the oly ones on my old list to lose their seats I think.

[Joey Russ 7,220]

Can we make a team now? 

[RoverAndOut 4,745]

You'll need to change the title: no way this is going from 2017-2022.

 

[Sean 6,310]

Sent my entry in didn`t put too much time into it as I doubt this parliament will last long enough.

[Handrejka 1,903]

Going to give it a miss this time, but good luck everyone.

I'm not surprised. I might only last 9 months!

[Sean 6,310]

I figure I will still get a couple of hits if we get 9 months.

[themaninblack 2,112]

Good point. There could be some loooong late night sessions coming up...

We could be looking at another general election fairly soon. I can't see Theresa May lasting much longer.

[Sean 6,310]

The Tories would resist any attempt at an early election.To lose to Corbyn would tear the party apart probably forever.Also no one wants to go down as the Tory PM who loses to Jeremy Corbyn.

[Sean 6,310]

Or May could just snap under the stress say fuck it and resign.

The Tories are looking at formal coalition with the DUP, there not intending a new election by the looks of it.

She's just "sacked but not sacked" Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill so it looks as though she intends to stick around.

[maryportfuncity 10,639]

Aye, I'm with some of the above.

 

Basically clueless where the health and long-term prospects of many of these parliamentarians are concerned. I'd doubt anyone will get shunted to the Lords quickly given the tense numbers game in the commons and this game could be won on one or two scoring picks before we re-convene in October.

They may be looking to form a coalition with the DUP, but May is getting calls from all sides to resign. I would wager that in a couple of months they'll push a vote of no confidence and oust her which then leads to a leadership race and quite possibly another general election. Especially if when the next by-election comes round and the Tories lose even more marginal seats.

Hopefully the Progressive Alliance can actually get it's act together in time for the inevitable second election.

You've got till June 30, going by the OP. Might be able to squeeze a decent game out - David Butler says 8 months tops this parliament should last, and the 1974 parliament still managed to squeeze in a by-election.

I have compiled my team so get them in.

 

Question is will this game be over before Scavenger Hunt?

So Theresa may is running a minority govt with backing of DUP on a issue to issue basis. Honestly there will be another election within a year with Theresa out by Christmas. Minority govts don't last because nothing can ever get done and the manifesto can rarely be implemented. Its looks like a repeat of 1974 . I honestly think we could get a vote of no confidence against Theresa may corbyn is bold enough to try it.
