General Election 2017

We’ve analysed views of Tories replacing retiring MPs and those standing in marginals: 24 backed Leave but only 15 Remain in referendum.

Sadly, Labour didn’t play ball and Lib Dems only stood down in two seats - despite both benefiting massively from the Greens’ self-sacrifice.

Theresa May has squeezed in an election just before popularity is tested by rising inflation and sagging economic growth.

Influential Remainers could be last line of defence if May tries to crash out with no deal. See our league table of the good, bad and ugly.

Draft manifesto rejects crashing out of EU with no deal. But what if the deal is bad? Labour rejects the only sensible idea: a referendum.

Prime minister won’t spell out her plans for future EU-UK relations, while opposition leader is too confused to hold her to account.

Instead of splitting vote four ways, pro-European parties should have agreed on a primary to choose a common candidate to fight Brexiter.

Just when Britain needs a strong leader to galvanise opposition to a destructive Brexit, the Labour chief’s dithering is handing Theresa May another gift.

An increased majority for Theresa May doesn’t make a hard Brexit inevitable or even more likely. The PM wants a deal.

UKIP completes Tory entryism; LibDems not party of 48%; Labour all over show; Tories thrive on Brussels-bashing.

PM’s volcanic attack on Brussels has rallied support amongst Leavers but may have hurt chance of appealing to Remainers in long term.

PM has renewed her threat to quit EU without a deal, after a disastrous dinner with Juncker that led to her being called deluded.
