Early general election on old boundaries giving Labour a slight chance of winning or wait until 2020 and new boundaries with no chance of Labour getting there?

if as suggested a labour leadership battle might have to go through the courts, must be tempting to go now against an opposition that looks all over the shop (tactically) and might have de facto two leaders (corbyn and a challenger) through an election campaign love them or hate them the one thing the conservative party doesn't do is dick around when it has to make changes and is happily brutal in getting there. new leader appointed start to finish in three weeks gives them a lot of flexibility now to go or wait |

Bit risky but if you have nothing to lose.... |

Bit risky but if you have nothing to lose.... a good percentage of "labour heartland" core voters are pro-brexit such a strategy would see the UKIP vote explode |

There may be reasons for the Tories to call a GE but do we really need more uncertainty right now?

"Quite impressive to see the Tory establishment machine's lust for winning and fixing events in full swing."
"May poised to be PM, Leadsom withdraws, Labour leadership contest triggered, parties to general election footing. Another quiet news day"
