Can Labour oust the Conservatives?

June’s General Election could be the best chance Labour has to take control

Well, it’s official. After Prime Minister Theresa May announced that there will be a snap General Election, Members of Parliament voted heavily in favour of the motion by a 522 to 13 vote.

On Thursday 8^th June, the nation will take to the polls to vote for who they think should govern the United Kingdom for the next five years and more importantly, be the key negotiator in Britain’s exit from the EU.

As with every major event, you can bet on the General Election at Coral.

May looking to disband opposition

With Labour looking disenfranchised under the opinion-dividing Jeremy Corbyn, Ukip losing support under Paul Nuttall and the Lib Dems hardly looking likely to be anything in the way of worthy opposition alone, this election could be the Conservatives’ proverbial “final nail” in their opposing party’s coffins.

Love her or loathe her, it’s a cunning ploy from the PM to put paid to doubts about her party’s ability to negotiate Britain’s inevitable EU exit.

At the time of writing, Coral make the Conservatives an unattractive 1/16 in the betting to win the most seats and a slightly more backable 1/6 for a Conservative Majority.

Could election U-turn hurt the PM?

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has not hidden her distaste for May’s “extraordinary U-turn”, after the Prime Minister promised on numerous occasions that she would NOT call an early election and it’s possible that going back on her word could have a negative impact on her party’s performance come June.
