The 2017 General Election we weren’t expecting

a chance to get rid of the petty remainer MP’s if they continue to try and hold up Brexit no Labour SNP LibDem Greens sounds great Britain can get back Our Sovereignty

Adam, this is our chance to join up as helpers against the MP’s that want to ‘remain’. I just hope that commom sense will prevail with Ukip and their supporters in doing just that. I see this as a Brexit mandate election and a chance for Mrs May to re-shuffle her cabnet. She has certainly taken all the parties by surprise and unready. As you say it is our Sovereignty. The emphasis on our Sovereignty and Independence is a key, key must to win over the hearts of the people.

Thank you. I have to say I was astonished that an election should be called during Brexit negotiations. There didn’t seem to be any reason for it at this stage. A general election is to approve or otherwise of a government’s performance, not to support a referendum, which should not be mixed up with party politics. The Prime Minister may succeed in trouncing the opposition in Parliament, though there is a big risk, and at the expense of her reputation. Many voters will have been placed in a very difficult position, wanting to support the Brexit negotiations but not wanting to vote for her party’s policies and actions. It is extremely cynical even for the Tories. The people have already expressed their will for Brexit in a vote, approved by Parliament and don’t need an election to enforce it. This is not really about Brexit, it’s about establishing an unassailable position for the Conservative Party.

With best wishes

Aha, yes, I was OK with the government’s majority, and as a natural conservative I’m rather dismayed at the prospect of higher taxes, more government and continuation of Overseas Aid, most of which is wasted, and some of which ends up in the pockets of corrupt politicians. This snap election, for the first time in my life, gives me pause; maybe I’ll vote against the Conservative Party. I’m a leaver – mostly because I believe that the less government there is the better, so getting rid of a level of bureaucracy is a good thing, and in the EU’s case it’s prescriptive bureaucracy, so good riddance. But free movement of people is to be encouraged, so long as there is no burden on the State purse, nor any insurance implications or HSE nonsense.

I can’t agree, Michael. It’s all about Brexit. This is exactly the time to call a GE. It will clear the air. MPs opposed to Brexit, including Conservative MPs, who have shown their remainer colours will be swept away. It will give Mrs. May a much strong bargaining position on Brexit and at the same time will make passage of the Great Reform Bill through Parliament easier than the ordeal that Mrs. May went through in the first months of this year. It also will reduce Nicola Sturgeon’s endless independence blackmail by reducing her party’s MP count. Although GE results are always unpredictable, Mrs. May going for added support for her plans at this time is just the right move.

We have no choice but to trust Theresa May. I do not fully believe that she was a ‘remainer’ any more than Corbyn was. She was simply protecting her job, since Cameron and Osborne were running Project Fear. To have full Brexit, without strings, and without any more Brussels interference, we need a strong Party in Government, with a strong majority.
I will say one thing for Mrs May, she has handled herself very well. There were no leaks about the proposed election, and the look of shock on Corbyn, Farron and Sturgeon’s faces was priceless. Regarding future negotiations, she has kept her mouth shut while all around her, including the EU Countries have been running around like headless chickens. Any Negotiations Course I went on made that a ‘must do’. So hats of to Mrs May.
