The GE Predictions Thread+

[threegee]

• Sunak will lose over 150 Tory seats on July 4th.
• Tony Blair will resurface in some capacity (Starmer owes him, and he owns Starmer).
• We will get a one-term Labour government that will be in total disarray within 3 years. (maybe less)
• The Reform Party will win some seat(s) despite the huge FPTP disadvantage.
• Sunak and his wife will decamp to the USA, tempted by some plumb position.
• Donald Trump will practically sweep the board in the USA elections.
• By year-end, Nigel Farage will be appointed US special ambassador to the UK, and Starmer will be forced to go through him.

Five out of seven is a win, and 7/7 would cement my pure genius!

Feel free to add your own predictions.  Go on, you know you want to! 

BTW Trump does support Starmer already, and I think I can probably see why.

Wow, I'd never considered there might be a FHF (female hormones factor) in this election:

Many women risk falling for Reform UK's bad boy boss Richard Tice in this election -- By Nichi Hodgson

Quote

The political data tells us that women are actually more likely to vote in general elections than men, and, as of 2017, more likely to vote for Labour than right-wing parties. But women are also twice as likely as men to be undecided about who to vote for. That means there are still some 8.5 million female votes up for grabs.

And if those women reach Election Day, untouched by the main political parties’ attempts to woo them? Then they may just vote based on their biases towards male leaders with certain dominant speech tactics and facial features - the kind of biases that favour a candidate like Reform’s Richard Tice.

Let’s face it, when it comes to good old-fashioned ‘manning up’, Tice doesn’t exactly have a lot of competition. Despite his penchant for ‘romantic comedies’ and weekly fasts, Dishy Rishi has never had the cut-through the Tory propaganda machine tried to manufacture for him.

Starmer, while well-prepped and well-presented with well-fitting specs, has all the charisma of a shared office hole puncher.

And as for Ed Davey? Isn’t he the one with the Edward Scissorhands haircut? (Nope, that was Lord Ed Vaizey but can you picture Ed Davey’s hair right now? I rest my case)

But Mr Big Dicky Tice harks back to a golden time - when women were mere housewives fantasising about owning a vacuum cleaner of their own, and political leaders were the gentleman-heroes able to promise - and then deliver - them.

So all that's really needed for Reform to take a sizeable chunk of the vote is some beautifully framed pictures of Mr T?  And.. we all doubtless thought that manifestos mattered, Nichi!

Using your 7 predictions I go for :-

1. I will be avoiding the first 15 minutes of the start of every  BBC news  broadcast for at least the next 42 days 

2. Anthony Charles Lyton Blair will resurface and make Donald John Trump and Nigel Paul Farage joint executives of the Institute for Global Change to ensure the UK is flung into the depths of depression and the UK population will have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities and will sometimes feel as if life isn’t worth living.  (However I will still be singing and dancing in the rain doo be do do, do be doobe dodo,   doo be do do, do be doobe dodo,  doo be do do, do be doobe dodo,  .................. )

3. The congregations of all religions will swell as the UK’s population prays for Angela Rayner to be a convert to the Scottish National Party before the Labour short term government  is embarrassed by Lorna Kuenssberg Sunday morning politics show.

4. Richard James Sunley Tice will have no seats in government and will return to making millions from real estate.

5. Rishi Sunak will stay as opposition leader.

6. Donald John Trump will be sentenced to four years.  Is the White House the finest building in America or the crown jewel of the prison system (Bill Clinton 1993).

7.By the end of 2024 Sir Kier Rodney Starmer will not have communicated with Joseph Robinette Biden.

 

One out of seven is a win, for me, and 7/7 means I will start my own party ready for the 2028 general election.

[Symptoms]

Oh! ... I have to have a go at this.

1.  The most fragrant Kier will sweep into No10 having slaughtered the Tory scum by a monster margin - 500 seats to a rump of opposition parties.  He will be singing Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice as he goes through the black door.

2. The glorious Labour Party will sweep all the crazy SNP out of office up in chillyjockoland.

3. The devine Angela will co-ordinate the rounding-up of all those corrupt and swivel eyed Tory/Reform/Brexit nutters and house them in re-settlement centers before shipping them off to Rwanda in cuffs ... this will be broadcast during prime time on the wonderful BBC.

4.  An arrest warrant will be issued for Boris Kerfuffle Johnson for crimes against public decency.  He'll be captured in some upstairs room in a Soho knocking shop.  After a lengthy trial at the Old Bailey he'll be found guilty and sent down for a 10 stretch at the Scrubs where he'll become the 'plaything' of a brutal lifer.

5. Tony Blair should join Johnson at the Bailey but will instead spearhead Blighty's re-entry into membership of the EU.

6.  Manchester City are found guilty of all that financial naughtiness and stripped of all their silverware and relegated to the Northern Counties Sunday League.  The mighty Toon sweep all before them and cement their place as UK/Europe's top dogs.

7.  The Yankees elect Trumpet in November and he declares war on China/Russia/North Korea and the World as we know it ends.

The first two lines of Nichi’s article say it all. ” What do undecided women voters want? That’s the question prickling many a Westminster wonk ahead of our July 4 election.”

Westminster wonk? Please, somebody, anybody, tell me that’s a spelling mistake and make my day!

In this erect… (sorry, must be too much FHF), election the risk is, I believe, minimal. Big Dicky’s tie is a direct no-no! Anybody needing a tie that long to point the way to his er… brain (despite his pet-name) is not going to get many female votes. They are wasting their breath, time and money with their manifestos. What we women need are womanfestos to help us decide and if we women reach Erect… (sorry, it’s that FHF thing again) Election Day, untouched by the main political parties’ attempts to woo us then we have a very efficient and reliable method for making that all important,  final decision:

Lick the index finger of the right hand, close both eyes, circle the licked finger three times in a clockwise direction at shoulder level, quickly move the finger in a downward direction until contact is made with the voting slip, open both eyes and place a cross at the point covered by the tip of the index finger. Never fails!!

@Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) @Symptoms ...all of those 14 things plus:

1 Mickey Mouse will be the UK's prime minister. He'll need to have a long distance relationship with Minnie because she'll be in the Oval Office multi-tasking with housework, running the country and preparing a womanfesto for the next erec... (sorry FHF again, plus, I must take more water with my whisky) election.

2 Bedlington will receive millions from Mickey's government to prepare Bedlington for the hosting of the next winter olympics. The mascot, a giant size inflatable Bedlington Terrier will hover over the ski-slope, aka Bedlington bank, throughout the duration of the games.

3 The seats in Wetminster will be reupholstered in a high quality, waterproof, black and white striped material.

4 Included in the responsibilities and powers of the Speaker of the House of Commons is the punishment of offenders. Such punishments will now include those of a corporal nature. Wrist-slapping will no longer be curtailed to the verbal variety. Standing in a corner may also be added to the list of punishments allowed. TV-coverage will be so much more fun.

5 Black Rod will be called Red Rod and her knock should be answered by all MPs simultaneously singing a chorus of Mary Hopkin's Knock knock who's there?

6 Yorkshire puddings, having held the monopoly on the name for far too many years, will now be called Northumberland puddings.

7 Parliamentary night sittings will become night standings. That should put a stop to that mullarkey.

That's a close call, Eggy.  Biden will likely still be in office until early January, and there's the traditional first phone call.

"1. I will be avoiding the first 15 minutes of the start of every  BBC news  broadcast for at least the next 42 days"

Why limit it to 15 minutes and 42 days?  The BBC no longer broadcast actual news. 

"a giant size inflatable Bedlington Terrier will hover" -- some great ideas coming out of this thread already!

That's what my prediction is based on

How do you rationalise the fact that despite the Deludocrats earlier siren warnings, the Trumpster was the only POTUS in modern history NOT to start a war?  Wars always start through perceived weakness - Sleepy Joe being a prime example.

You'll love this article in today's DE: My Labour chums can’t wait for Starmer to win power - here's why they’ll hate every minute

This morning's Torygraph headline: Farage wins BBC election debate, snap poll finds

Quote

A snap poll of 1,031 voters by More in Common found most thought Mr Farage won the debate, followed by Angela Rayner. Mr Farage received 25 per cent of the vote while Ms Rayner received 19 per cent...

A slightly more nuanced result from the Torygraph's own poll of 75,000 readers:

Quote

Following the debate, Telegraph columnist Sherelle Jacobs argued “Nigel Farage may just have made real inroad”, whereas writer Tom Harris suggested it was Stephen Flynn and Rhun ap Iorwerth “representing nationalists in Scotland and Wales who fared best”.

Telegraph readers also weighed in with their verdict. An exclusive Telegraph poll showed 59 per cent of over 75,000 readers thought Nigel Farage came out on top, followed by Penny Mordaunt with 17 per cent of readers’ votes. 

Many readers were impressed by the leader of Reform’s performance, arguing he was the only one who spoke sense when discussing important issues such as the state of the NHS, immigration and knife crime.

Reader M.F. argued “this has been an excellent night for Reform” with “Farage managing to get some good points across” whilst “everyone else was squabbling”.

So Tory voters prefer Reform over the imploding Tory Party by more than three to one!  Labour's recent drop in the polls illustrates that there are a good many Labour voters who will gravitate to voting against the status quo, too.  Never before in modern history has a third out-of-the-blue party been contesting second place like this.  It's only a matter of time before most voters get the message.  There's still time to change your prediction, Eggy!

No change from me and I will continue to avoid any reports on what what happened in any event. 

As for watching live debates - I would rather play Words With Friends online

For an eighth prediction in the light of what I've seen of Joe Biden this week, down here:

Joe Biden won't be allowed to continue as POTUS by his own Democratic Party. The lying media can't continue to cover for his mental state very much longer.  Quite how they get rid of him is going to be an interesting watch, and those who pull the strings are leaving it very late.  This event will come as shock news to the leftist hive mind types who blithely absorb every bit of garbage the mainstream media circulates.

No one in their right mind could contemplate Kamala Harris taking over from him (the ultimate woke job placement) so they have a really tough task in timing this.  His obvious replacement Gavin Newsom has made such a hash of California that the next Democratic candidate will likely be some relatively unknown Democratic state governor.  If they do select Newsom, it's another gift for Donald Trump, but I will leave this as just one extra prediction.  We live in interesting times!
