Re: June 8th General Election
Quote:
Theresa May declared she is now chasing “every vote” in Britain as she stuns Labour by targeting its South Wales heartland.
The PM mounts a major election land grab by becoming the first Tory leader in decades to campaign in the Valleys.
Theresa May is targeting votes in South Wales Labour heartland
The region has been a Labour bastion for 100 years, and returned to Westminster no less than five of its former party leaders.
The Tory leader’s audacious bid was given a big boost when a shock poll revealed the Conservatives now have a 10 point lead over Labour in the principality.
Mrs May’s party haven’t won the most votes in a general election in Wales since 1859.
Tory bosses believe that support for Brexit in the region will transfer to election votes
Wales voted for Brexit by 52.5% to 47.5%, leaving many of Remain-backing Labour’s usual supporters alienated from the party, Tory campaign bosses believe.
