Transcript of Theresa May’s Address Calling for Vote
So tomorrow, let the House of Commons vote for an election, let everybody put forward their proposals for "Brexit"
and their programs for government, and let us remove the risk of uncertainty and instability and continue to give the country the strong and stable leadership it demands.
Last summer after the country voted to leave the European Union, Britain needed certainty, stability
and strong leadership, and since I became prime minister, the government has delivered precisely that.
Let us tomorrow vote for an election; let us put forward our plans for "Brexit"
and our alternative programs for government, and then let the people decide.
It will be a choice between strong and stable leadership in the national interest, with me as your prime minister, or weak
and unstable coalition government, led by Jeremy Corbyn, propped up by the Liberal Democrats who want to reopen the divisions of the referendum, and Nicola Sturgeon and the S.N.P.
It was with reluctance that I decided the country needs this election, but it is with strong conviction
that I say it is necessary to secure the strong and stable leadership the country needs to see us through "Brexit" and beyond.
Every vote for the Conservatives will make me stronger when I negotiate for Britain
with the prime ministers, presidents and chancellors of the European Union.
