There is to be another UK General Election - on December 12th! :Xmas: Normally elections are held in the spring.

Here is one of the polls.


Conservative 41%
Labour 29%
Liberal Democrat 15%
Brexit Party (Nigel Farage) 6%
Green Party 2%

Scottish Nationalists on course to win most Scottish seats.

What I don't understand is how the Brexit Party is allowed to contest seats when it is not registered with the Electoral Commission as a party. It is a limited company with Farage as its sole director.

I'm not sure who to vote for. The Conservative has a 17000 majority, so will win easily. Also there is no Monster Raving Looney candidate this time.

Maybe I should spoil my ballot by writing Craig is Not Bond on it. :wink:
Bring back Bond!
