So she hasn't called the election to gain more seats so she doesn't have to seek approval from the Far Right tories? What is she calling it for then? 5 more years in power. The Oppo was, on the surface, very, very weak when she called it. At the time, politically, it would have been a no-brainer.

Works well with the point I am making regarding gaining a larger majority. Which I still think will happen. Disliked his foreign policy speech. Felt like he was trying to use the attacks in Manchester as a political point. Labour were the party that helped the US in their war on terror.

But Corbyn is polling higher than Blair's majority in 2005. So he's clearly built a coalition of voters capable of winning an election, just maybe not this one because of particular boundary and party concerns. If UKIP hadn't fallen by the wayside so dramatically, he'd be on his way to no.10. He still might if this stuff about May as Home Sec allowing Libyan extremists in surfaces. Forget the polls, the silent majority will vote Tory, common sense will prevail - like it did in the EU Referendum.

Aren't the tories doing the same by pressuring internet regulators? Also i think Corbyn's speech is very explicitly trying to break with blairite foreign policy.

This is why the election was called. So she doesn't need to please the more right-wing tory MPs. Why not call it 10 months ago when she became PM by coronation? Why wait until after article 50 and thereby waste part of the 2 year negotiating period? Why spend taxpayers money and time on a pointless legal battle over parliamentary sovereignty? She's a weak leader who has and will continue to endanger getting a good Brexit deal.

Their manifesto suggests that under the Tories the government would become the regulators of the internet. A significant extension of the snoopers charter. They would effectively be able to decide on what was and what was not allowed to be shown and said online. Big Brother and the Dear Leader.

That's good, shut the new left babel up, should get them a few more votes.

My point was that a country should be able to allow in or not allow in whoever they want for whatever reason. I'll write to my MP and ask what she is doing about this appalling state of affairs.
