Elections in the UK June8

Clever move by Theresa May – a quick election whilst Labour is in disarray, Ukip is without solid leadership and the Libs are well, gone. It looks like an easy majority (only problem being continued internal brexit-strife)

Latest poll average:
Tories 43% (+5), Labour 24% (-7), Ukip 10% (-3), Libdem 12% (+4), Green 4% (-1), SNP 6% (+1), Other 1%

Looking ahead: May will get the legitimacy she craves. Corbyn will be knifed by his own on June 9, Ukip and the Greens will get 0 seats each and particularly the former will be in civil war, SNP will solidify in Scotland and get a new referendum, Libdems will declare themselves comeback kids and nobody will care.
