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.

Yeah, of course. A larger majority is the aim though I doubt it is to negate the ultra-right in her party. 1) I don't think she is made of the right stuff to achieve that and 2) She is a politician. She want's to remain at the helm by any means 3) If she had called it in 2020 her Empress's new clothes would have had her entirely exposed by then. Brexit is going to kill a number of careers in the Government as the sh1te hits the fan...and just keeps on coming.

Imagine how Theresa May would go down in history though. Priceless.

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.

We must all be grateful that it's not going to happen, then.

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.

This is the thing. All the main Tory plans for this election are premised on people believing that May is a strong and stable leader, but the polls show her approval rating at a level similar to Corbyn's which is astonishing.

If this Libyan thing finds its way in to the mainstream press i reckon it's the final nail in her coffin. Her record as Home Sec has come under very little scrutiny, but if it does, it will show her to be far from 'strong and stable'.

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

Appalling and ridiculous decision by the court. A country should be able to allow or deny entry to whoever it wants.

The court upholds the law it doesn't make it. What in your expert legal opinion did the courts do wrong?

My point was not whether the courts got the law right or wrong. 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. [How's your expertise in British history coming along by the way.]
