Surprise in Britain. Prime Minister Theresa May announced today that the citizens of the United Kingdom will be called to the polls for early elections on 8 June.
In recent months, the number one of the British government had repeatedly ruled out the possibility of going to the vote ahead of time, but today - in an unscheduled speech in front of 10 Downing Street - the sensational change of line has arrived.
According to polls, May can count on the clear advantage of his Conservative Party over the Labor opposition. A possible confirmation of the conservatives with a large majority would strengthen the position of the Premier in the negotiation with the European Union for Brexit.
"Brexit is in the national interest, but the other parties oppose it," said May, explaining the announcement of early elections and arguing that the decision was made "to ensure certainty and stability in the years to come… We need it and we need it now,” he said.
The early elections in Great Britain, therefore, are necessary to deal with the climate of 'division' sown by the opposition Labor, libdem and Scottish independence activists in Westminster who risk weakening the country, explained May, who appealed to the British to vote Tory: 'Every Conservative vote means we can push ahead with our agenda and move towards a safer future.'
