I think we have already had the last General Election for many, many years.

If we do have another, the Snot Goblin will get 110% of the vote.

Happens during every Labour government (my memory goes back to the 60s): people who don't like it start to categorise them as guilty of some kind of treason, and accuse them of being about to abolish elections.

Whereupon those loonies start talking about needing to remove them by force, which actually is some kind of treason against Her Majesty's elected government.

Indeed - a bit ironic given that Thatcher was the one who rewrote most of the rules on democracy. Her immense admiration for General Pinchet (whilst as a "conviction" politican she abhored the anti-democratic military Junta in Argentina) tells you all you need to know about the methods she'd have employed if she could have got away with it.
