Possibly so. I've known for months that the Conservative Party has been paying for a sizable number of analysts and campaigners out of party funds.
This is commonly a precursor to a General Election as they do all the analytical work needed for a successful campaign.

Corbyn better hope not - anyone voting not-Conservative too. Could be a wipe out

That's the thinking behind it. They're talking about a real swing as even within the party it's just over 17% of members who approve of him.
It could be a massive landslide if actually is a snap General Election; obviously there'll be stalwart Labour voters but there'll be those who won't.
Perhaps she has decided that from now on she wants to be called Terry May...

Could like a reverse of the '97 results. The Lib Dems will fancy a free roll at it though.
I doubt they'd get into a point of being the opposition, however I could see their number of consistencies rising significantly if it is an election.
If you're a disenchanted Labour supporter then you're not going to swing to Conservatives so it leaves you with a number of different options.
Obviously there'll be those who just stay with Labour regardless of how the party is going, but that'll be more likely the staunch leftist side.
Otherwise you can either abstain, which will only help with the whitewash, choose an independent or sway towards the Lib Dem option.
The latter is more likely due to some of their softer views, hence why they could take a fair few seats from the already demoralised Corbyn.
Spoke to a relative who rolls in such circles, and he said I wouldn't be surprised if it is a general election but it may not be with May as leader.
Lots of whispers that she isn't happy in the role and neither are key individuals in the party. That would be an even bigger twist in the tale.

..she's always said she wouldn't call an early general election but it's looking likely.
Politician going back on their word shocker! There's lots of regulatory issues regarding fixed terms that people are now hurrying to understand.
