Yes, people who may challenge her if she doesn't get a good deal, but that is different. The house has acted reasonably with even the Labour party supporting her Brexit votes.
May is still going to win - but a reduced majority will be what she deserves after the cynical act of calling an election simply because Labour looked weak. Labour has a lot of work to do to achieve that though.
If the Tories win with a reduced, similar, or only slightly increased majority, it's quite possible that all four main national party leaders (May, Corbyn, Farron, Nuttall) will have to resign. May, because she gambled and lost; Corbyn, because by continuing, he would be admitting Labour is merely a protest organisation; Farron, because he'd failed to create an impact despite (a) having an alternative to all the other parties and (b) being measured against an appalling result last time; and Nuttall, because he'd taken a failing party further downhill.
On the deadline day for registering to vote in the upcoming general election, 622,389 people applied to the electoral register.
Of these, 246,487 (39.6 per cent) were under 25 and 206,659 (33.2 per cent) were between 25 and 34.
Here's some perspective on how vote registrations spiked in the last few days prior to the window closing.
On the final day of voter registration, under 25-year-olds were most likely to apply (246,487), followed by 25 to 34-year-olds (206,659), and 35 to 44-year-olds (88,956).
Since 18 April, when Theresa May called for a 8 June general election, over 1 million people under the age of 25 registered to vote:
Age group: Applications to electoral register between 18 April and 22 May
<25: 1,051,30
25 to 34: 972,680
35 to 44: 432,220
45 to 54: 244,640
55 to 64: 134,865
65 to 74: 70,797
75<: 31,759
There were, however, some 27,288 people who filed their application a day late, on 23 May.
What have the filth press got up their sleeves now? I'm starting to sense their influence might be diminishing? Facebook fake news is where it's at for the far-right in America. Maybe that's where they should be concentrating their efforts? I mean, Corbyn did once bum a sheep, I heard
Fiiish is definitely the one in the activist cell who turns up to meetings in JP Morgan baseball caps and has to nervously laugh it off as borrowed from his brother

The media are going to ramp up all the IRA stuff in the coming week in response to that speech. Add in the whole 'blaming our troops for terrorism' spin too.
Brave speech tomorrow but one that won't be shared by many of the population that would rather blow the middle-east to pieces.
Jeremy Corbyn will return to campaigning for the general election on Friday morning after the pause following the Manchester bombing. He plans a speech criticising police cuts, drawing a link between British foreign policy and terror attacks.
With less than a fortnight to go before polling day, the Labour leader will tell an audience in London that a government led by his party would provide more resources for law enforcement and the NHS to ensure people were “not protected and cared for on the cheap”.
The long-time peace campaigner and former chair of the Stop the War coalition will also argue that it is the responsibility of government to ensure that “our foreign policy reduces rather than increases the threat to this country”.
Corbyn will say: “Many experts, including professionals in our intelligence and security services, have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in other countries and terrorism here at home.
“That assessment in no way reduces the guilt of those who attack our children. Those terrorists will forever be reviled and held to account for their actions. But an informed understanding of the causes of terrorism is an essential part of an effective response that will protect the security of our people that fights rather than fuels terrorism.”
He will argue that the government should admit the “war on terror” had failed and rethink its approach.
There is nothing there that I don't agree with but people need to hear the emboldened bit and that may not happen.

So much for strong and stable!

Nervous about how this speech is going to be received....
Except it's a Jupiter cap.
