This is an election that could have huge political consequences. It presents a chance for Theresa May to get a mandate for her own domestic agenda, and to strengthen her hand ahead of the Brexit negotiations beginning in earnest.
An expected increased majority will offer her a bulwark against those within her party unwilling for her to take a pragmatic or flexible approach to the talks.
It will also tell us whether a Liberal Democrat revival is possible, and could be decisive for the future direction of the Labour Party.
