Now that the least enjoyable election campaign in living memory is drawing to a close, what can we expect next, after the votes are counted and the results are announced? Here are my predictions.
Mrs May will win, and win comfortably. She will claim that the margin of her win completely justifies her decision to go to the country. If the Conservative majority is a comfortable one, this argument will sound convincing; if less than comfortable, not so much.
Mr Corbyn will lose, but he will claim a moral victory. If Labour wins over 200 seats, we have already been told that that will be a good result. If Labour takes a bigger percentage of the vote than it did two years ago under Ed Miliband, then we will be told that this is a triumph.
