So The PM just announced a snap election. Saw that one coming from a mile off.
June eh?
Consider the issues The PM faces. A slim majority in the house, brexit negotiations that even senior civil servants don't want touch, a looming electoral fraud investigation about to report...(will it do so now in the wake of the results deemed damaging to an election ..with shades of the Hillary and Trump battle ringing in our ears?)
On the other side should the Conservatives retain power it maybe with an increased perception of legitimacy of message. Mrs May has often been accused of being an unelected leader with no mandate for drastic action.
Labour stands ready. Lib Dems stand ready. So the 2/3rd vote in the commons looks pretty good for a yes outcome.
I have to say..were I in Mrs Mays shoes right now, i'm not sure i'd want to win. After all, Cameron resigned and walked when things got really daft. This is a good way out for `May in that if she were to loose she would avoid the accusations of cowardice that followed Mr cameron out the door of number ten.
What happens next remains to be seen, i'm interested in Jeremy Corbin response, though i doubt the BBC will give him much air time, and PM's questions over the coming months might just be worth a look, if only for the comedy value.
In the words of the incumbent of 221B baker street,
The games afoot,
Follow you're spirit, and upon this charge,
Cry "God for Harry, England and St George".
