Genaral election for UK

Noddyholder

BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg says she has been told by one source that she will announce a snap general election on 8 June.

Downing Street has always denied Mrs May will call a vote before the next scheduled poll in 2020.

Number 10 has not said what subject Mrs May will address, but statements in the street are usually reserved for big announcements.

Polls are with them and they want a stronger majority for pushing through EU deal and trying to stop scotland leaving. Also it will extend their government lifespan by 2 years so they wont have to call another until 2022 instead of 2020

I'm completely clueless on uk politics but is this because of brexit?

Mod: OP, this should be for Politics Cafe or similar. It'd just turn into another Brexit thread here, which we're trying to avoid.

Thanks
