This might be current politics. If so, can someone direct me where to post?

But anyway. Let's say for whatever reason Theresa May's campaign runs well. She still doesn't do any debates, but she has an acceptable manifesto and her 'Strong and Stable' campaign slogan sticks and resonates with voters. The Conservatives hoover up the UKIP vote and win a significant chunk of former Labour voters in the north.

Corbyn doesn't get anywhere near the decent coverage he got during the election. His manifesto is regarded with skepticism and questions over how Labour will pay for it. His pledges to hard Brexit mean Remainers either don't turn out or stick with the SNP in Scotland or the Liberal Democrats elsewhere.

What would happen afterwards? Would May win a landslide that Blair would be proud of? Would she be the ultimate authority in government? Will Corbyn leave or try and cling on? Is Labour irrecoverably damaged by the loss of swathes of their northern heartlands?
