Didn't Cameron boycott the debates last go around and ITV (I think it was ITV?) said they'd do it anyway?
As I recall Pigfucker eventually agreed but only so long it was not in a debate format, but rather he and Milliband would address the audience separately, with no direct interaction?

Tories never do well in debates because they're loving idiots.

Vote tactically in your seat. Depending on where you live it's quite possible the Lib Dems have no chance and are a wasted vote.

Also, election is smack in the middle of Ramadan and exam season.

From a purely logistical standpoint, ignoring the effect this would have on voter turnout, this is going to be a pain in the arse as a lot of polling stations are based in school halls and properties that will be used for other purposes during Ramadan.

I'm in a safe-as-houses Tory seat that nonetheless voted something like 65/35 Remain, so the Lib Dems will likely do much better than Labour, not that it will matter in the end.

For my seat (rural safeish blue, Lib + Lab knocked Tory below 50% in '10, Lib vote collapsed in '15 with little/no Lab gain, ~51% Leave) that probably means voting Lib Dem as a moonshot to get the incumbent out.

On the other hand

Theres not many additional prohibitions on anything in ramadan beyond the fasting (and an extra prayer in the late evening).
People go to gyms and go about their work day normally.
If a person was going to vote anyways, ramadan wouldnt stop them.

So unless voting requires eating or drinking then no, ramadan isnt really a factor.

May realized that the EU will not change their negotiation-order, which means that the first result of the negotiations is going to be the fact that the UK has to accept the ~60€ billion Brexit bill, which is certainly not going to raise her popularity, so she needed elections asap after invoking article 50, because she could not do it before as it would have been portrayed as trying to get out of Brexit.

He blamed Trump's victory on Hilary's gross incompetence resulting in depressed turnout on both sides, something the press did not expect. Which is also something I told the Washington Post at a Bernie rally last night.

Those 60billion are just the open bills, they don't buy you anything. The idea that you get access to the single market, especially for (financial) services, without free movement is absurd.
