British MPs have voted 522to13 in favour of Prime Minister Theresa Mays call for an early election.

British M-Ps have voted 522-to-13 in favour of Prime Minister Theresa May's call for an early election.

That sends voters to the polls on June 8th, three years ahead of schedule.

May is hoping for a bigger majority in Parliament, which she believes will strengthen her position going into talks to pull the country out of the European Union.
