UK Election 2017 – Will There Be Some Surprises in Store?
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

As voters head to the polls, many have predicted a Conservative party landslide, but when it comes to contests of meaning over the last couple of years, popular opinion has not always gone the way of the Globalists. The results won’t be in until gone midnight UK time, but here are some predictions that the MSM will be unlikely to offer.

The Conservatives won’t hit the huge majority that was predicted a month ago. When the election period began, most pollsters had the Tory Party on a 24 point lead and heading for a 100 seat majority. And although the exit polls are still giving a comfortable 12 point lead, my prediction is that it will be an 8 point difference with perhaps a 30 to 40 seat majority. The Scots National party will suffer. In 2015, the SNP won almost all of the Scottish seats and propelled leader Nicola Sturgeon’s party into the forefront of Westminster politics. But then she and her party became a one trick pony. Constant calls for Independence referendum (with a view to immediately joining the EU, what independence you may ask?) has wearied the SNP voters who would rather she talked about education, housing and defense. The SNP vote shere will fall and her party could end up down to 40 to 43 seats.

The time has come for the US to redefine that “special relationship”. Trump should follow his instincts and start recalling American military units from Europe.

We’ll know soon enough the results. At this point the media was saying a possible landslide for the H last November.

If Theresa May is a conservative, then the UK is done for.

Judging from my British in-law relatives’ comments, she is as Conservative as can be elected in the UK these days. The younger generations, like here, have been brought up being indoctrinated into Socialism and do buy into it. Prayers for this election. It may determine the survival of Great Britain.

Every Labor seat is a nail in England’s coffin.

Absolutely. EUnik spasms and flatulence following Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Accord reveal the EU and several of its subject satrapies as our enemies. They are bent on intermeddling, perverting our domestic policies, metastasizing islam, and wreaking economic sabotage on Americans.

We owe them nothing. Being burdened with their defense is purely a deficit, as they offer nothing except snark, passive aggression, and cheap shots against us.

This is really scary. I didn’t think it would be a problem. Granted, Theresa May is a lousy choice, but she looks like Super Wonderful Conservative Hero, compared to Jeremy Corbyn and his gang!

Electing Corbin would be committing suicide. Prayers for our brothers and sisters in Great Britain!
