voters have gone to the polls in Streatham to cast their ballots in the General Election.
Theresa May called the snap poll in April, with the Prime Minister insisting an election was necessary to strengthen her hand in Brexit negotiations.
The PM’s announcement was backed overwhelmingly in the House of Commons by MPs who had to vote for it in order for the election to go ahead.
Streatham candidates ( result: Labour)
Kim Caddy – Conservative
Alex Davies – Liberal Democrats

For a party to be able to form a Government and its leader to become Prime Minister, it needs to win more than half the seats in the House of Commons – 326. The party that wins the second largest number of seats becomes the main opposition party and its leader the ‘leader of the opposition’.
