Welcome to the briefing room with me, David O'ronovich.

This week after Theresa May called a surprise election,

I'll be asking who the British voters actually are

and how their choice will affect Britain's future.

We voted last June on the question of the EU.

We vote this June on who should take us out.

The nature of the result could define British political life for decades to come.

This is the snap election to end them all, isn't it?

In terms of possible results, the permutations, it's absolutely breathtaking. And the next six weeks are going to be deeply, deeply absorbing.

The general election will be the fourth major electoral event in the UK in as many years

following the Scottish referendum in 2014, the general election in 2015, and of course, the EU referendum 10 months ago.

Every vote for the Conservatives will mean we can stick to our plan for a stronger

Britain and take the right long-term decisions for a more secure future.

Mrs May's pitch is, who do you trust to guide us through the Brexit straits?

The leader of the opposition is we need to smash the rigged system.

It is these rules that have allowed a cosy cartel to rig the system

in favour of a few powerful and wealthy individuals and corporations.

Tonight in the briefing room,

I'll be trying to find out who the British electorate are now,

whether the old rules of politics still apply,

and what the election means for the Britain of the future.

First, this election is unusual, a sudden, unexpected national vote.
