This got brought up after BREXIT. Labour has two wings to it...the youth side which is like a Bernie Sanders machine, and the union-worker type which feels that Corbyn is a ‘joke’. Part of the mild success of UKIP was drawing small numbers of the union-worker crowd over.
If you had some rushed-up election...Corbyn isn’t really a dramatic element, and he’s mostly pro-BREXIT (he just doesn’t say it much).
That’s why I think this would be a fairly unusual election if May has to call for it. UKIP could make this about Tommy Robinson and BREXIT.
Meanwhile, Trump just totally rolled over on his comments yesterday re: Brexit. Says May is doing a wonderful job, Brexit is tough and complicated and she’ll do it just fine.
