May was essentially defaulted into the position as everyone else in the leadership race stood down - perhaps noting it for the poisoned chalice it is - so I don't think she's necessarily had a popularity rating, as it were.

She was notable as Home Secretary for various things like the Snooper's Charter and vans with the slogan "illegal immigrants go home or be arrested" or some such.

She certainly isn't doing herself any favors by hiding from debates during the campaign, though. Evidently she thinks that the lead they had when she announced the election was big enough to absorb the hit from doing that.

Edit: I forgot her desire to scrap the Human Rights Act, too.

Really? That's... just dumb. Though that's probably an understatement.

What effect would a Labour victory have on Brexit?

Who is Labour?

[hector13]

The current opposition party in British politics.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I do believe you mean the Laor Party, who serve at the will of Corbyn Lord Of Direction.

Well if I am going for the worst possible thing... for the UK

a UKIP victory.

[hector13]

The BNP still exist, man. I have no idea what they stand for other than "NO IMMIGRATION, FUCKING MUSLIMS" but they're there.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

They still exist, but after UKIP was founded they lost all of their more mainstream voters and all of their few elected positions. Didn't help that they got censured a few times for not allowing nonwhite members.

Yeah as you can tell I am being INCREDIBLY nice to UKIP. Given that they are UKIP.

Though I did say that a election victory by them would be the worst possible thing to happen to the UK.

[hector13]

They probably won't even win any seats, they're raison d'etre has already come to pass, so they can't campaign on it.

Chances are they'll swing to the Tories for the most part.

Last I checked they failed to pay the thingy that means they're an official party.

So they're political vaporware now?

Isn't this illegal? He's deleted the Tweet since but that seems like a really bad idea.

1) Who is that TempletonPeck?

2) Why is there a archive link to a google search page?

3) Tweets are really easy to fake.

4) Not sure what the law on postal ballot is in the UK. Can they open them before d-day? That'd be weird.

P.S. From what I find on wiki, they're supposed to be sealed and only counted during the count. The one info that'd be public would be postal turnout I guess, which make sense since one of Labour's issue is to get young people to turn up.

1) TempletonPeck is some random guy who is the only result I can find responding to the guy in the original image (or even quoting him).

2) The Google Search displays the page with the TempletonPeck quote on it.

3) They are, hence the archive.

4) You're not allowed to unseal and count them, that's completely illegal.
