Re: General Election UK
Hey everyone,
My husband received his overseas postal vote- the envelope says no stamp needed, the generic guide says no stamp needed if posting within the UK.
Anyone know if it needs a stamp?

Re: General Election UK
I get the feeling Theresa May secretly wants to lose as Brexit is a pain in the backside but she may well win. No party wants to take Brexit on - it means they'll have to do some work for once. Boo hoo, we just like sitting in meetings and the sound of our own voices. Tired and jaded? Moi?

Re: General Election UK
After much faffing around and a few words, I have finally managed to get my proxy vote sorted ..... I think 
Why do I want to do this?
Because the UK is my country & I may be able to return there one day.
NZ is where I live and I would vote here too. Why? Because I am boots on ground and so have a vested interest .
Voting matters.

My sister went back, but in an ice-cream container 
She wanted to be among the bluebells.
Special trip.

I childishly poke out my tongue at you.
I shall finally be one with my beloved coastline and beach. It is written.

Re: General Election UK
Interesting that both parties are polling closer togeather just before the manchester bombing. It looks like, if the current trend continues, it may be a hung parliament which would likely very segnificantly democratise a Brexit.

Re: General Election UK
Why do you expect the pollsters to be right :-) my money (literally) is on a 40 seat Conservative majority.

Re: General Election UK
Agreed, Conservatives have probably been given a boost by recent events. Also I do think the most likely outcome is still a Conservative majority.

Re: General Election UK
It will be interesting to see if May survives after the election.
Especially if it's a hung parliament.
Knives will be out because of her bumbling performance.

Re: General Election UK
Providing she gets an improved majority she will survive - not many alternatives (options like Hammond are tarred by their perceived 'Remainer' status, Osborne/Boris/Gove - nope).

Re: General Election UK
She is in real trouble over this and it is anything but a boost for the Conservatives!
