The calamitous news for Theresa May comes from the first seat by seat projection for the campaign, and suggests the Conservatives will fall 16 seats short of an overall majority. The polling method has taken into account an unusual technique using a complex computer model.
The YouGov prediction would leave Theresa May with 310 MPs 20 fewer than at the time of dissolution of the last Parliament while Labour are set to surge from 229 to 257 MPs on June 8 election, a gain of 28 seats in the Commons.
The shocking scenario could leave Theresa Mays hand weakened ahead of Brexit negotiations or see her ousted by an opposing coalition government.

The globalists will not be denied. They are allowing too much time to get Brexit done, it allows too many dirty tricks to happen.

They apparently think a thumb on the scale is an innovation.

I wonder if voters in Britain are as reluctant to tell pollsters that they support May as was the case here with Trump supporters.

May is a Cuck, she’s no Trump.

The Brits don’t like terrorist attack, so vote in the leaders who will guarantee more of them. Completely logical. Their mothers didn’t raise fools, as the expression has it. If they are lucky, maybe the country won’t survive another five years.

Run Nigel Farage up in there and see if the voters would be excited.

The 2004 Madrid train bombings had the same effect. Three days before general elections, the bombings convinced the voters to elect the Socialists.

I have oftened wondered what the median IQ of the whites who moved out of Rhodesia and South Africa forty years ago was, vs. those who are still there.
It is long past time for all white Europeans to be escaping from Europe. Their governments decided fifty or more years ago to turn Europe into the Third World.
