I was literally just about to post this
Unfortunately she can't actually call an election from what I can tell so...
If one does happen, please no Conservative domination!
This should've happened before Article 50 tbh. Its good though since it essentially lines us up with the French and German elections.
It's a good plan, she's ahead in public opinion by a long way and there's no real opposition that anyone could seriously get behind - Corbyn is an absolute joke and Farron is... well, Farron. Lib Dems might be enjoying a bit of a surge due to how shit Labour are atm but he surely can't expect to actually do well here. I'm not May's biggest fan in the world but there's no-one else to do the job (since the entire platform for the others is "LET'S NOT DO BREXIT LOL") and this is a sound tactical move to boost her majority
I will be voting Lib Dem! They have nothing to lose
Well you're not wrong there
Makes sense (vs. Corbyn) and allows for yet more "well you asked for it" type comments when we slip further into chaos throughout the next two years.
But either way, nobody wins.
I am voting Conservative & Unionist for the first time and my family also intends to return to the fold. In doing so, being working class voters, we'll hand the Tories a majority not seen since 1983 when Margaret Thatcher rode home on a thumping victory after the Falklands. We'll consign the European Union, Labour and the Cameroons in the Tory Party to the history books.
I look forward to Labour+Corbyn selling nuclear disarmament, the handing over the Falklands and tax rises to middle England on the doorsteps. On June 9th no doubt it'll all be the fault of Murdoch, the right-wing media and old people. ;)
I think Lib Dems are going to see a big increase in votes but not seats (maybe they'll get half the amount they had before last election)
It will be a landslide for the Conservatives
Wish I went to London today instead of yesterday
Here's how the demographic which turns out (65 and over) intends to vote and what it thinks of the PM.
I think the opposite. Little surge nationally in the polls to them but ultra Remain areas like Twickenham they can re-gain.The over-65s are the highest turnout group in Britain
