The UK Prime Minister has made a sharp U-turn from not wanting an election until 2020 to now wanting it to hold as soon as June 8. The PM announced rather unexpectedly his morning that the snap election is imperative for certainty, stability and strong leadership as the UK begins Brexit talks with the EU?
Giving her reasons for the change of mind, Mrs May said: “The country is coming together but Westminster is not.”
Meanwhile opposition parties are delighted with the announcement as it offers them a great chance to dethrone Mrs May early rather than wait till 2020. Jeremy Cobyn has welcomed the idea even though the polls puts his party chances at 25% as against the Conservative party which stands at 45%.
A vote is expected in the House of Commons on Wednesday, all indications shows that the House will back the snap election, although the House of Commons have been divided before now, it appears like all parties will vote in favour of the election giving Mrs May the two thirds majority she needs to have the authority to hold the election?
