"Theresa May 'not considering election' on walking break, says No 10" .  15 April 2019  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47933513

"Number 10 has insisted the prime minister is not considering calling a general election."

Code for prepare for an early General Election!?

No need to consider it. We have locals and (for the life of me I can't think why) European elections coming. She'll see which way the wind blows, especially given that the majority of voters can't seem to tell the difference between national elections and local elections... :bangshead: 

I'm voting Brexit Party in the Euros purely for the irony and the comedy...

We have EU elections this May because a 'dog's Brexit' has been made of leaving the EU.

The turnout by the electorate for the 2017 General Election (which Mrs May said she would NOT call, but did) was about 68% which is twice the usual for EU elections and local elections, so looks like the public are aware.

Perhaps a way will be found to leave before the 23 May 2019 EU election is necessary, but leaving it late.

At least the Brexit party should, in theory, be united behind a common cause unlike the two main parties.

UKIP did their job which was to get us out of the EU. The electorate then abandoned them because once the job was done there was no need for them. Brexit Party has come about because it has been recognised that there is another job to be done. Like or loathe Farage, he's one of the few politicians who has achieved a clear and stated manifesto aim which cannot be denied. Here's UKIP's 2015 manifesto at a glance.

 Now, if only Daniel Hannan would re-raise his profile and get himself heard again we might get somewhere more quickly.
