A lot of liberal Americans are jealous of the UK today--a snap election. A lot of liberal Americans wish that the U.S. Constitution had a amendment about a "snap election"--to force Trump and Pence out after 100 days!!!

However, midterms (midterm elections) can't come soon enough for some Americans. Other Americans don't even know what a midterm election is. They're busy watching Kardashian.

Some think of the word midterm as a midterm exam in high school or college!!!

If we had a snap election, Democrats would be wise not to run Hillary Clinton again for a snap election. Maybe Kaine, Warren, or Gillibrand.

We do not have a parliamentary system of government in the U.S. This is why America is unique to other countries. 2018, 2020 is on it's way.

If the Conservatives lose this election to Jeremy Corbyn, a far left Marxist-type man, May should resign as Leader of the Conservative Party. They should put Prita Patel, a no-nonsense woman to lead conservative politics.

Some of Corbyn's policies, I agree with, like trying to reduce income inequality, combating climate change, but as a centrist, I don't like some of his hard core leftism.

We'll see. A Prime Minister Corbyn would lead to a lot of craziness in Britain. He's too weak on defense, I fear.

However, a surprising Labour 2017 victory would lead to lots of soul-searching for U.K. Conservatives. Brexit 2016 was the cause, most likely.

I wonder how Kinnock, Blair, Brown would react to a surprising Corbyn Labour victory?

It would make Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have a bit of hope, International Leftism may be making a resurgence in the 2010s.
