Here It Is: The Big Quiz Of The 2019 General Election

UK Election Quiz: How Much Attention Were You Paying During The Campaign?

Sky News empty-chaired the Tory party chair after he failed to turn up for a prearranged interview. Cleverly denied ducking the interview, saying he'd been booked to appear on to appear on a TalkRadio show.

James Cleverly

Let's start with an easy one. Who is Kay Burley not talking to here?

"It's time for real change"

What is Labour's 2019 election slogan?

Yes, the former defence secretary invented these emojis in a touchingly doomed attempt to stop people shouting at each other on the internet.

Penny Mordaunt

Who invented these?

The discussion on the BBC _Brexitcast_ podcast exposed some gaps in knowledge, it's fair to say. If you're still confused, [this](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shitposting) is probably as good a place to start as any.

Shitposting

What alleged Tory online strategy did these BBC reporters attempt to discuss on air?

The general consensus was that he made a bad mess worse.

A Specsavers in Matlock

Where did Boris Johnson fail to use a mop correctly?

He [told](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/general-election-labour-manifesto-john-mcdonnell-corbyn-budget-clause-4-a9194791.html) the Independent: “He phones me from the allotment and says, ‘I’m doing this at the moment’, and he’ll send me a photograph of his latest crop … He’s been in my garden and criticized my garden, so I don’t invite him anymore.”

John McDonnell

Who said they won't allow Jeremy Corbyn in their garden anymore?

However, there are very [serious problems](https://fullfact.org/news/conservative-claim-labour-1-trillion/) with this claim.

£1.2 trillion

What did the Tories (incorrectly) claim the "Cost of Corbyn" would be?

Yes she [would](https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1196914809167581186?lang=en). Just so we're all clear.

Would Jo Swinson use a nuclear weapon?

He was visiting Modern Milkman, a business in the constituency, at the time he did his disappearing act. We should say that Tory sources claim he was taking a moment to prepare for an interview. Ho-hum.

Pudsey

What constituency was Boris Johnson in when he hid in a fridge?

It was Stormzy. "I set trends dem man copy," tweeted the senior Conservative politician, former Times writer, and alumnus of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.

Stormzy

Which rapper did Michael Gove quote on Twitter?

This is Sir Edward Lister, Johnson's chief of staff. The Telegraph [reported](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/11/11/brexit-general-election-news-latest-keith-vaz-boris-johnson/) that he'd had weekend talks with him shortly before Farage pulled candidates out of scores of seats — though he had refused any kind of electoral pact.

A member of Boris Johnson's staff

Reports this man had met Nigel Farage were considered a big deal. Who is he?

When contacted by the Times [over the pledge](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/labour-steps-back-from-climate-vow-for-net-zero-carbon-emissions-d6hwfsnr7?utm_campaign=f8ceec5131-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_11_18_06_58&utm_medium=email&utm_source=POLITICO.EU&utm_term=0_10959edeb5-f8ceec5131-190127789), which had appeared on Jeremy Corbyn's Instagram page, the post was deleted.

Net-zero carbon emissions by 2030

What pledge did Labour make on Instagram...and then row back on?

Claiming a Corbyn-led government would hold two referendums in 2020 — on Brexit and Scottish independence — Johnson [was planning](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/12/boris-johnson-to-promise-end-to-brexit-groundhoggery-in-first-stump-speech) to say it was “an expense of spirit and a waste of shame, more political self-obsession and onanism”. So he was planning to murder Shakespeare too.

Holding referendums on Brexit and Scottish independence

Boris Johnson dropped the word "onanism" from a campaign speech — but what was he going to use it to refer to?

He was the Telegraph's _Mandrake_ columnist — which was later revived by the New European.

Mandrake

Liberal Democrat candidate Tim Walker stood down in Canterbury rather than take votes off Rosie Duffield. How else might he be known?

He [wrote](https://dominiccummings.com/2019/11/27/on-the-referendum-34-batsignal-dont-let-corbyn-sturgeon-cheat-a-second-referendum-with-millions-of-foreign-votes/): "Days after the 2016 referendum, I emailed all of you to say thanks for your heroic efforts. ... I also said — keep an eye on my blog, if Brexit is in danger then I will send up a ‘bat signal’ here."

A bat signal

Dominic Cummings wrote a blog. How did he describe it?

Boris Johnson finally [admitted](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-tories-new-nurses-promise-50000-31000-a9237676.html) the figure in an interview with Sophy Ridge.

31,000

The Tories promised 50,000 nurses — but how many actually turned out to be new?

It's Count Binface. Who used to be Lord Buckethead. But then there was a [legal challenge](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/26/lord-buckethead-double-trouble-theresa-may) from the previous Lord Buckethead. Anyway he's standing against Boris Johnson.

Count Binface

Who is this?

You've not been paying attention to the election!

You've maintained a healthy distance from the madness.

You've been paying ~some~ attention to the election

It's been absolutely awful; you must've gone mad.

You've really been following the election closely!
