Not quite sure what you guys mean. He's fav for next PM, ditto Labour for most seats? I think it just says Labour aren't planning a change of leader.
It's possible he wins the most votes but is unable to form a government, so I'd expect his price to be slightly higher in the next PM market, although there's not much in it.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 4:37 pmNot quite sure what you guys mean.

The modern Speaker is politically impartial and expected to avoid taking a political stance or favouring particular interests over others. To ensure this, the Speaker is expected to resign from their party on appointment and do not campaign in general elections – usually standing unopposed by the major political parties. However, they are still a serving MP and undertake constituency work.
If the Tories have the most seats in a hung parliament I'm sure the LibDems would forget everything they've said, everything that's gone before and join them. Anything to get into power. Let's face it, there's no other way they'll get in.
A “small but growing” number of MPs have submitted letters of no confidence to Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the 1922 Committee, although under the rules Truss is protected from a challenge for a year
