Have to say I'm surprised. She could have coasted on until 2020 and then won convincingly for another five years. As it is, Labour will be all but wiped out this June and then start rebuilding with a credible leader.

Think she realised that summer of 2020, there would be a major distraction with everybody celebrating Hereford promoted to Div 2

As it is, Labour will be all but wiped out this June and then start rebuilding with a credible leader. True but she's probably seeking a much bigger majority more than anything. I wonder how many on here will be able to pluck up the courage to admit that they'll be voting for JC anyway.

I wonder how many on here will be able to pluck up the courage to admit that they'll be voting for JC anyway. Oh, absolutely. What's she got at the moment? 17, I think.
As to Corbyn - well, if my fellow lefty, Guardian-reading friends are anything to go by, none of them will be voting for him. A principled (if pretty arrogant) man who was quite happy having battles with the leadership of his own party, but never a leader.
EDIT: I'm well aware that we vote for constituency candidates as opposed to the party leader, but the reality is that the leader is key (particularly, I would say, with regard to the current Labour Party).

I wonder how many on here will be able to pluck up the courage to admit that they'll be voting for JC anyway. Isn't that why the US election and Brexit vote shocked the world? JC, like Trump and Brexit, are notoriously dodgy and laughable options, but people have become so fed up with the alternatives that they have silently gone to the polling station and picked the lesser of two evils.

I'm not aware of any members on this forum that live in Islington, so I doubt there will be many.

I'm not in JC's constituency if that helps.
I'll vote according to policy, not for any other reason.

The problem, of course, is that in a GE we don't get to vote for a [party leader...we vote for our local candidate. Jesse seems a decent sort and, I believe, is generally liked by most Herefordians and will likely win.
Proportional Representation anyone?

I would submit that a lot of Labour MPs use Jeremy Corbyn as a cover for their own inadequacies - like, for example, explaining what they stand for.
One danger for Mrs May is that she was a Remainer. Does the electorate want a Remainer leading Brexit? It's also a heaven-sent opportunity for the good denizens of Henley to get rid of Boris. Now that would be comforting.

For the first time in my life I feel party-less. In a way, it's reassuring that it doesn't make a blind bit of difference how I vote personally.

Serious question how do lefty Guardian readers vote these days? Not being a homogeneous block I imagine they vote for a variety of parties depending on policies and where in the country they reside.

I think Boris is Uxbridge now. Looks like the markets are betting that TM will go soft on Brexit once hardline tories are neutralised - i.e. long transition and perhaps even membership of the single market.
