What Help Will A General Election Be?
71 Answers
In all this brexit shambles I regularly hear a call for a general election Surely that would simply un focus us from the immediate task.

" The answer is Labour to ditch Corbyn , make Keir Starmer their leader, hold a general election . then Whoo Hoo , Bye Bye Conservatives."
And there we have it in a nutshell, while government and the rest of the country are trying to come to terms over leaving the EU, labourites plan a general election to gain power. Underhanded and selfish but would you expect anything else?
