Next UK General Election thread

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Well I suppose we need a new one.

Theresa May failed to secure a majority in the June 2017 snap election, I made the title of the thread "Next UK General Election" because we do not know when the next election will be. The next one is due in 2022 but a lot of people believe it will be before then.

Could we have a snap election in 2019 after Brexit negotiations are complete?

Tim Farron is stepping down, means Lib Dems will have a new leader for whenever the next election is.

So at this point the theme is a close race but a narrow Labour lead (enough to possibly take more seats than Tories if the election were today)
