Can't see Labour getting a majority. Nor can I, although I couldn't see a majority vote for Brexit either.

It would be funny though, if having called an election in an attempt to increase her majority, Theresa May lost power completely. Kind of ironic.
Whatever happens, there will probably be several by-elections within the next year as more Conservative MPs follow Craig Mackinlay in being charged with election fraud over the 2015 election. Some cynical folk even suggest that the whole reason Theresa May called an early election was that so many Conservative MPs are about to be charged with election fraud (forcing by-elections if convicted) that she was destined to lose her slim majority completely.

I understood the CPS had decided there was only sufficient evidence (in the cases investigated) to charge one MP

Trump and Brexit seemed like a swing to the right so it does not follow (to me Mr Ignorant) that Labour will win at this stage. It would seem more likely that the Conservatives will win comfortably. Turnout 64%

Maybe not enough at the moment. Brexit didn't really deal with those issues head on. As for the American election, well they are more patriotic than us and more paranoid about 'foreigners'.

I won money on the last GE, Brexit and Trump and do believe that tomorrow another £1050 will wing its way into my account when Mrs May wins with 70 plus majority. I need that money for the bathtub!!

Can I add to my bet. I think Labour will win. TBH I'd be very surprised if they do, but I'd be quite happy about it.

I've quoted this in case you feel the need to frantically delete it in the morning, in order that it might come back to haunt you.
