She's called the election in the hope that she can get a larger majority to drive through the brexit she wants. At the moment she only has a small majority so a few bitter remainer back benches can spoil the party.
A Tory landslide will result in a hard brexit with no pampering to the EU.
Go Tezza.
Or alternatively so she can ignore her Eurosceptic backbenchers and go for a softer Brexit, remember she is a Remainer/ neo-lib/ globalist, need to keep an eye on her.Quote:

The frogs are in dep financial trouble ,that's why so many have supported Le Penn , the Italians are verging on bankruptcy and the Germans are fed up of supporting the runts of the litter in southern Europe . What started as an ideal of having single market but hten they politicised i
A currency union including the Northern & Southern European countries was never going to work, do we really want to be run by people as dumb as that?
More bad news for RUFC.
Diane Abbott is the new club finance manager.
I never said cliff edge and the phrase hard brexit has been used by almost every poster on this subject.Quote:

Reaching a quick agreement on EU citizens living here and British citizens living in the EU should be a priority to show goodwill later on down the line.
May has already stated in her article 50 triggering letter that she is pursuing a hard brexit. We are coming out of the single market in order to control our borders.Quote:

Standard tactics by May . Akin to a poker strategy . Wipe out the Labour seats leaving them with only there strong holds left probably around 120 .(Or put a big bet in get rid of the beggars as we say in poker) Play the strong hand and win the pot with her massive hand (majority) Win win for her and the Tories . I want out of the sess pit of the EU but do i trust her. Reminds me of Thatcher in certain ways .Uncertain times weather what side of the fence you sit on
