Interesting call - my thoughts
SNP - will continue to dominate Scotland leaving Labour with few to no seats.
UKIP - have had their day because they have achieved what they set out to do and more recently the party has been in turmoil. What will this mean. It is easy to think of UKIP supporters as right wing lost from the Conservatives but I think there are just as many, if not more, working class who would go back to labour, especially with Corbyn in charge.
Labour - the party is in a mess and don't like Corbyn. But I think it is different for the working class electorate. They might see Corbyn as someone who is going to specifically look after them above everyone else. Shouldn't be simply dismissed. Corbyn is quite outspoken about some of his ideas. Only this morning he pledged to scrap the improvements in inheritance tax to give unsung carers an extra £10 per week. Can't see how he can not have that in his manifesto now but I'm not convinced that it will be a vote winner.
Lib Dem - unsure. They took a total battering at the last election but there are signs that recovering - maybe all the remoaners will support them in a desperate hope to derail brexit.
Conservatives - bit of a gamble but probably the best time they will ever have to get re-elected even stronger. It makes sense to have the election out of the way before Brexit talks start in earnest. Maybe the brexiters will support Conservative in fear that the other parties will want to derail brexit.
Cheers,
