I don't know. If not, guarantee it'll be all the Lib Dems and Labour claim they'll do. I don't think it's a clear cut result at all. Should be interesting.

[Braden]

What are the chances of Labour-support to increase? The margin is quite significant, but could this become a Remain vs. Leave situation again?

I agree that this could become quite interesting, but my gut is saying that not much will change.

The Lib Dems have been calling for a referendum on "the deal" which would be a way out I guess

Oh right, it rolls on and on

[Ronald.]

I imagine a lot of the remain vote will be split between Labour and Lib Dems. Will be very interesting to see how this rolls out. Especially the tv debates I love those. They will be fascinating to watch. R.

From BBC News...

The PM says the country is coming together, but Westminster remains divided.

"In recent weeks Labour have threatened to vote against the final agreement we reach with the European Union.

"The Liberal Democrats said they want to grind the business of government to a standstill.

"The Scottish National Party say they will vote against the legislation that formally repeals Britain's membership of the European Union.

"And un-elected members of the House of Lords have vowed to fight us every step of the way.

"If we do not hold a general election now, their political game playing will continue."

So, and don't jump on me for being a remoaner, does this mean there's still a chance Brexit won't happen?

Nope.

I read that in a way that would suggest that Theresa may or may not die so many times

[Will.]

Would there be a vote in 2020 still?

No i believe the five year term would start from the result. R.

As in a vote after we find out what trade circumstances we get? Thats a good idea

Oh okay! Thanks.

[Ronald.]

I think Lib Dems will get a much needed boost. I think it's labour who will suffer. R.

[Ronald.]

I'm on the fence with this one. I think Theresa is the strongest leader but I'm not a tory. Don't think Corbyn is all that good and i'm not sure i have much confidence in the Lib Dems either. I imagine a lot of on the fence voters will stick with Theresa and see how things play out. That said, I haven't made my mind up yet. R.

I don't think the Lib Dems have a cat in hells chance sadly.

Oh me neither but better than usual I think, I imagine they'll pick up a few remainer votes if they go on about it enough in the debates. R.

I rather admire Teresa's style. Nice counter move. I wonder what will happen in Scotland! Politics is fascinating!

[Kizzy]

It's very strange Corbyns policies have recently been found to have massive support, but then when asked 'do you like Corbyn'? the answer is no.... :/
It makes no sense, unless you take into consideration the negative press he receives, which you would have to have been living under a rock not to have acknowledged, there are university studies on the topic.

What policies?

Just imagine if Labour win Corbyn might give himself powers that mean he can never been ousted and will be in the job when he has his zimmer! It's Erdogan all over again!

[DemolitionRed]

There are also Local Elections in England in May which might give some sort of indication of trends.

I dont mind May. She comes off intelligent and hard-working, which is more that can be said for most of the rest of the party.

Great speech.
She has hit the nail on the head, hopefully this will give her a better chance of getting what we need from Brexit.
Should be an interesting election, more for the Labour Party.

She does actually and she doesn't rub me the wrong way as a lot of politicians do. What I can't abide is the female politician who talk in that whiny patronising voice they probably think sounds understanding. Anna Soubry and Diane Abbott to name the two worse offenders. It's almost as if they are trying to do a Thatcher impersonation.
