I'll admit to a degree of concern over the timing of this GE. I wonder if with the attendant shenanigans and filibustering, the fact that neither May nor any of her cabinet (that I can see) want Brexit, if there may not be a plan (scheme) in place to scupper the whole deal.
One thing's for certain, if we don't leave the EU now, regardless of our previous leanings, we will be held over a barrel and we'll be royally buggered by Brussels.
I'm not convinced that we'll ever be free of the EU.

There is a world of difference between the way your vote counts in a referendum and a GE.
Tactical voting doesn't have a place in a referendum.
I and many millions like me already know who will be returned as MP on our behalf under the FPTP system.

But I know one thing for certain, Corbyn will never be my Prime Minister!

If he was to be democratically elected, would he not then be your PM?

He won't be. So a hypothetical question.

2015 General Election in simple terms
And that is WITH tactical voting which would be irrelevant with PR(STV) - but until that day the UK only gets a democratic vote in referenda where tactical voting really doesn't count even though in the Brexit referendum voting against DC was "de rigeur" for some who actually wanted to remain.
