General Election 8th June

[Fazerider]

This is nothing to do with, as Theresa May claims, seeking a mandate for her Brexit plans. She hasn’t a clue what will come out of the negotiations so can hardly say that it’ll prove the population supports that.
Calling another general election is cynical opportunism, seizing the chance to stick it to Labour.
It could be a mistake: if Labour does get soundly beaten they may well have a new leader that wavering voters find more electable than Jeremy Corbyn in 5 years time. If the Tories only hang on with a similar or reduced margin she’ll look weaker.


In my area, the prospective Conservative candidate could be Jimmy Savile’s rotting corpse and he would still get voted in. Guess I’ll be playing my usual game of deciding which other party’s deposit to try to help save.
