Left, Right.

As usual, another of my predictions was wrong.  This was that sitting Labour MPs would be upset by the snap election because they would be up for reselection.  No reselection will take place because of the short timescales, so no left wingers will get the chance to take over the more common centre-left type of Labour MP, otherwise known as Blairites.  This will give us another 5 years of Corbyn battling the established parliamentary Labour party to no avail.
Still, they'll be plenty to have a laugh about I'm sure.
UKIP will probably come out of this the most worst off (unless this prediction thing of mine carries on).  They only won one seat in the 2015 election, and has gone back to the Tories so I can only see them picking up the extreme conservative right voters with the rest going back to Conservative.
The Lib dems vote will be interesting to analyze because they are firmly against brexit, the only party to have come out with that line.
Watch this space.
