It’s 11 pm Eastern time, and the outcome is still in doubt. However we already know that Corbyn is a huge winner and May is the loser. If Thatcher anticipated Reagan and Brexit led to Trump, does Corbyn’s strong showing suggest Bernie Sanders could win in 2020? (Sanders is far to the right of Corbyn, who is basically a Marxist).
It’s becoming clear that the polls showing a big overlap between Trump voters and Sanders voters was no fluke. I now suspect that Sanders might have won in 2016—an idea I ridiculed at the time.

Negotiations with the EU? They must all be laughing in Brussels.
About the post title. Given my strong dislike of May, I’m rooting for a Conservative win so narrow that they replace May with Johnson.
