re: #167 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Tories have a few months still to hope that somehow the Labor party falls on its face.

I think they actually only have about 6 weeks.
AIUI, the British election system (for Parliament) is designed around a specific (and by American standards, quite short) timeframe. Once Parliament has officially adjourned, they have to get the King’s signoff, and the electoral machinery ramps up for a (?? Four-week??) window till Election Day.
