        This is a great opportunity for the young people of Britain to put an end to old school tie ideology and class divide politics. #TorysOut!

        But do the young people of Britain have life experiences to cope with what many of us went through? The cold war? The bay of pigs etc?

        Playing games with democracy, fixed term parliaments were put in to avoid Gov's picking choosing moments.Should be judged on a whole term

        It isn't playing games. It's to put a stop to people saying she has no mandate or legitimacy to take the country forward or negotiate Brexit

        Or as I said, it puts and end to the likes of Farron and co constantly saying she has no mandate to govern and take the UK out of Europe.

        She has a mandate, we don't choose our pm we choose mp's. She wants to capitalise on a weak labour at the expense of democratic integrity

        In your eyes she has a mandate and in mine also but not others & particularly not Labour/Lib Dem or SNP politicians.
