UK General Election 8th June: Shake it all about?

[altered]

New Zealand is very, very sane. It's actually really creepy.

Malta is also implausibly good, but it's implausibly expensive too. NZ is at least survivably priced.

[Cain]

I've heard some things about the cost of living and work environment in New Zealand that kinda put me off. It's apparently no worse than London...but London is a shit hole when it comes to expenses. My parents are actually looking at Malta, but that's for when my father finally retires.

Still, University costs are not expensive for Australians...

Looks like the Cabinet might be a majority Leave one, if the rumours are true.

Raab to the Foreign Office, Sajid Javid to Chancellor and Priti Patel to Home Office (the horror).

Wow, I'm sorry. I don't even know how you survive this one.

[Cain]

It could be worse, if Raab were Chancellor the chance of a recession would go up massively. He's one of those libertarian types who think you can gut the administrative state and welfare and somehow make more money out of it.

What's goves deal? "More senior position but no portfolio". Eh?

Raab at foreign could be a huge fuckup with Iran right now. Money on there for first resignation, if it lasts that long. Assuming Patel doesn't fuck up overnight. Nothing for reeee-moog yet. Thought that would have been agreed a while ago.

And truss for trade. That's a laugh. Mordaunt gone after 3 months as defence, despite that being an easy win to keep her in place. Face doesn't fit the role I expect.

Kind of upset expecting "ive pissed away over 3bn on literally nothing" grayling to get something. Just so everyone can point and say they're not as useless as him.

[Cain]

They want to keep Gove where they can see him.

Rees-Mogg is now Leader of the Commons. Williamson for education. Amber Rudd at the DWP. Shapps is transport?! And Leadsom for business? Oh deary, deary me....

[Junkenstein]

Well, when you alienate anyone remotely competent, this is the pile of shit you have left to work with.

So, implosion shortly after summer? No point spoiling the planned holidays beforehand.

[Cain]

This summer? Almost definitely. There will also probably be at least 3 major scandals unrelated to Brexit by that point, and I'm putting money on Patel and Williamson being two of them.

The shape of things to come:

This is all looking really familiar.

Johnson, contradicting the opinion of most experts, has said leaving without a divorce deal will be "vanishingly inexpensive" if Britain is properly prepared.

He says he will "turbo-charge" plans for a no-deal Brexit — including beefed-up border measures and a multimillion-pound information campaign for individuals and businesses — and has set up a bodies including a high-level Cabinet "exit strategy committee" to oversee preparations.

Less than a hundred days to go.

[Cain]

He's put one of his chief rivals, Michael Gove, in charge of No Deal prepartions, too.

You can see where this is going, it's all so predictable by this point.

So, tell me this:  If Brexit stalls in the UK and nothing at all is done, does the event still happen in October?  Or is this going to be more like what the EU parliament did to May?
