Another General Election

[fender62]

having a chat with a mate in the pub, he asked what would it take to cause another general election to get rid of the labour party, got me thinking erm mass civil unrest, a war ? not really sure actually.

[Peter Pedant]

1911 they had three general elections within we months.

election two and three produced almost the same results (er as one wd expect; showing validity of the  measure over time. - that one result should be  the same as another result three or four months later).

1924 - the Queens  speecch was defeated - 

nothing else

The only mechanism available is for a "motion of no confidence" to be passed in the Commons. This won't happen because the government has a large majority.

OP  What would it take to cause another referendum to get back in the EU now the UK  has got rid of the Twisting Tory Party.

[ToraToraTora]

Either the PM calls one or a MONC, both extremely unlikely.

[fender62]

gulliver, no one wants us to be back in the eu except you, and you do not even live in the uk, so what difference does it make to you, besides the eu- utopia is crumbling anyway.

CLONE, "In light of today's news Starmer should resign"

Could you not be a wee bit more specific?

[Clone]

Couldn't you stop pretending you don't know what I mean? 

[Atheist]

Clone, I think that few here know what you ever mean. You could try being a bit clearer (between your insulting epithets) (which to be fair I think are becoming a bit less insulting and a bit less frequent).

[Clone]

They need to get smarter then.

Do you think that when TCL and Sandyrow ask daft questions they don't know the answer?

[sandyRoe]

I don't believe I've ever asked a daft question.  I like to think they're nuanced and can prompt thought in some of my readers.

The fact is that we live in a democracy. Like it, or like it not, the previous government were kicked into touch by the electorate. Anyone involved in civil unrest or rioting needs to be dealt with robustly.

Well, you now know how I feel when I read your waffle, Peter.

A young man accused of murder may have downloaded an Isis document from the internet and dabbled with producing poison.

Some people are saying the PM would have known this and should have announced it to the wide world.

Lawyers might have said he shouldn't do that.

You do know accused people are considered innocent until they are convicted?

//Like it, or like it not, the previous government were kicked into touch by the electorate.//

Not really - Labour gained (kept) the support of 20% of the electorate. A deeply flawed version of "democracy".
