Why she has chosen to do this, only a week after saying yet again that the next GE would be in 2020, is anyone's guess. Speculation abounds that there may be a connection to the ongoing police enquiry into Tory election fraud from the 2015 GE, whilst others have suggested recent polls suggesting poor results for Labour have been the trigger.
But, on Wednesday, the morning after the PM announced she was requesting a GE in June, the ITV This Morning programme ran an online poll of viewers, asking who the viewers wanted to be the next PM. The results were astonishing for those who only take note of what the biased mainstream media have been saying about Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, the man who the media have spent most of the last two years trying to discredit, dishearten and destroy. The poll found that of 89,600 votes, 62% wanted to see Jeremy Corbyn as next PM, as against just 24% of votes for Theresa May. That is some poll!
Meanwhile, those of us who have been supporting Jeremy Corbyn's leadership of the Labour Party and are fully behind Labour's policies for a better Britain are smiling sweetly, and resisting the urge to say, "I told you so." #BloggersWhoVote
