The snap general election has certainly caught me out here in Reading.
With only two local elections under my belt I simply don't have the credibility to be contesting a general election at this point. I had instead been looking to 2020 when Reading would have been at the tail end of its 3 year cycle and the parliamentary bid would have boosted a simultaneous local one.
Once this election is over its realistically going to be 2022 before the next one. One of the consequences of this snap elections, and almost certainly not the main driving force, is that the boundary changes will now not come in-effect come into force for a futher 2 years.
