“Every vote for the Conservatives will make it harder for opposition politicians who want to stop me from getting the job done.”
LONDON – After months of rumors that began in the aftermath of the June 2016 referendum on Britain’s membership in the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May announced on Tuesday morning that the United Kingdom will head to the polls on June 8.
The announcement follows May’s repeated claims that she had no interest in calling an early general election and intended, instead, to wait until the previously scheduled date for Britain’s next election, 2020.
