Wow. There's rumours Number 10 might be tempted to call a General Election too after Article 50 is triggered.Westminster voting intention:
— Britain Elects (@BritainElects) March 20, 2017
CON: 45% (+1)
LAB: 26% (-2)
UKIP: 10% (-1)
LDEM: 9% (+1)
GRN: 4% (-1)
(via ICM / 17 - 19 Mar)
I'm usually against governments having absurdly big majorities in the Commons as it means the executive becomes far too powerful. However, can you imagine the reaction of all the Corbyn students to an electoral wipeout we haven't seen before? It'd be hilarious. I have a few on Facebook always liking Independent articles about Labour/Corbyn and they don't realise how detatched they are from the rest of the country - just like with the referendum. The reaction would be popcorn time.
If a General Election were called tomorrow I would be voting Tory for the first time. Thoughts?
