To think General Election should go ahead...

[coconuttella]

...we mustn't let democracy be de-railed by terrorists! What a victory a postponement would be to IS and their friend who despise our freedom and democracy.

No one has suggested it will be cancelled. We don't give in in the UK.

But they have... there's a petition!

The daily mail are only suggesting this because Labour are narrowing the Conservative lead.

What reason would there be to postpone?

Parliament has been dissolved. It's a bit late. And wtf??!

Yanbu

Yes its should go ahead. What would postponement achieve?

No officials are suggesting it, only keyboard warriors and idiots! Of course it should and will go ahead.

Ridiculous over reaction.
Parliament has been dissolved anyway, so the government can't just continue in limbo. That would be unconstitutional.
The GE must go ahead on the specified date

A democracy postponing a GE because of terrorism would be the biggest victory terrorists have ever achieved.
Then they would start bombing every other democratic country around the world to stop their elections too.

I think it should. Daesh or jihadist sympathisers would feel a sense of victory if it was delayed.

I don't think they can postpone it legally anyway?

Irresponsible to suggest otherwise

Sorry - mean to say irresponsible to suggest it shouldn't go ahead

I've just been arguing with my DM about this. Of course the election should go ahead. Why would we let these cretins interfere with the democratic process of the country? am livid this morning

What would be the point in postponing it? Who is going to take part in the Brexit talks when they start on the 19th if there hasn't´t been an election?

Some halfwit started a petition on change. I've already voted - but hey, I'll vote again. Vote early, vote often.

I think one of the most vexatious uses of parliamentary time is the majority of petitions from the website, not least because you only have to tick a box to say you're in the UK...

Purple yes you're right I think. There's no law that allows a postponement and currently no parliament to make a law.
