On Tuesday morning the Prime Minister announced the government will table a motion in parliament to hold a general election on 8 June 2017.
If the motion passes on Wednesday, this will have been the second general election in just 764 days.
And 350 days since the whole of the United Kingdom went to the polls for the EU referendum.
