What is a Presee ?
Something you get at Xmas ?
If the election goes as badly as most people think it will for his party, surely even Corbyn will realise that he will look ridiculous trying to cling on to his job.
For me, Corbyn has, typically, got it completely wrong already. Back in 2010 it was announced by a Coalition Government in which the Conservatives were the biggest party that we should have five year set term elections in the national interest and now the first time there is a tory majority, all that gets ripped up two years after the last vote on the altar of grubby party considerations.
The best laugh I've had since the election was announced was listening to John Redwood tie himself up in knots as he tried to reconcile his earlier opinion that holding an early election would be a purely cynical move with his current view that Theresa May was right to go to the country.
For the last few weeks we've been told about how "normal" Government would, effectively, stop in the wake of the tremendously important Brexit negotiations and now we are getting a General Election when most experts say it will be impossible to fit in all of Brexit work needed to be done in the time allocated.
You barely heard from Theresa May during the Brexit vote and it only emerged after the event that she has spoken to some people, somewhere about backing the remain side, now she seems to be advocating a harder Brexit than anyone expected from a tory party with her in charge. She said she wouldn't be looking for an early election, but now she's called one - you cannot trust anything Mrs May says.
That would be the line I'd be following if I were the leader of an opposition party as I argued that now is not the time for snap general elections called on party political rather than national grounds and I expect some of them might do, but the leader of the party who, despite the current woes, is really the only possible alternative to the tories when it comes to forming a UK Government won't do so and, hopefully, he'll pay for that by losing his job.
