Written by someone who does not know how UK politics works.

The Prime Minister is calling a snap election to strengthen her hand in negotiations with the EU. She only has a 17 seat majority. A larger majority will give her maneuvering room without having placate an obstinate back bencher.

Labour has accepted Brexit, it’s a done deal and cannot be stopped.

Only the Liberal Democrats are going to run on a Remain platform, they may pick up 10 seats, if they are lucky.

I'm sure you are correct.

My purpose in posting was not to endorse the content, but simply to save Fellow FReepers from having to play clickbait to read some bloggers opinion.
