Lots of potential things to discuss here (What shot does Labour have with the damp noodle that is Jeremy Corbyn?).

 

However, my favorite is just how envious I am that their "election process" lasts less than 2 months! Imagine if our campaign process started in September just prior to the election in November? Man that would have been bliss.

Buyer's remorse?

We shall see.

 

It is a wierd scenario though considering the party that is leading was the party that campaigned against Brexit. However, they are now seen as the "Brexit group" since they have the obligation to carry it out.

 

Labour, or mostly Jeremy Corbyn, never really took a firm stance on Brexit (to my knowledge). Most people don't like Corbyn anymore, and so while most elections tend to swing back and forth the expectation is Conservatives will do better. The only reason why she would choose to call an election early would be if she thought it would improve her majority.
