The father of my wife is English and he say that if only people who pay tax is voting in the UK it would always be only to the right but the problem is that far left wing populism is on rise with students and those not working correctly.

Normally the French do not be caring about the UK politics situation but now it is interesting and today the press say the same question I ask which was why did Therisa ask again for election when she was already in the win.

proloForêt,

Teresa May stupidly thought she could get a strong mandate. She thought Labour were weak, she completely underestimated here opponent. The Conservative manifesto was poor, the campaign was poor.

On the other hand Jeremy Corbin saw this as a great opportunity and rightly so, he campaign hard, he got the attention of young people, people who have never voted, made ridiculous promises, he came across genuine, no matter what was thrown at him, he got through it...

So now, we have a weak leader, a Conservative party without any shining starts, no real plan. Negotiations with Europe are going to be interesting...

but she already had a mandate and could continue for 3 years with it?
seems a crazy gamble and she lost.

She did have 3 years and a majority, however, they still have the most seats of any party. (By some margin.)

She now has 5 years, instead of three.

It could have gone labour or conservative, conservative had a large advantage from the outset.
It is a conservative win, as the highest amount of seats are retained, but just short of a full majority outright.

It was mainly called due to people who are anti democratic, trying to prevent her doing a thing.
(By people I mean political parties, and individuals who didn't believe in democracy.) â­ï¸â­ï¸God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 â­ï¸â­ï¸

On TV the winner, Ms May look like the loser and the loser, Corbin look like a winner.

Two weeks from now she wont be PM.

Could have been a good prediction by you, but surely, you would think she'll hang on?
