ALOT of Political people, have made judgement calls saying he will call shortly, but its just pointless, were just dogs chasing our tails.
Speculation will RAMP up next Friday, Lets see see the Scottish Parliament VONC first .
There is definitely a growing chitter chatter about June. Holyrood will be interesting. Logic would suggest an election on the same day, but while this isn’t illegal, it’s very much frowned upon. This happened once and it was a disaster, leading to a full inquiry which advised against it ever happening again. The basic thrust of the issue is that the voting systems are different for various forms of government in Scotland and the one time we tried it we had A LOT of spoiled ballots. I still remember the baffling lecture at the polling station about which way to vote on which coloured sheet!
My prediction? June for a General Election, July for a Scottish election. Holyrood is baked in for May elections, but we’re in uncharted waters now. A busy few months ahead for the election studios!
