High political drama in the UK.

Theresa May has called a snap election three years early.

The Prime Minister said it's all about getting the backing of political parties for her Brexit plan.

CNN's Nina Dos Santos said there is an element of voter fatigue in the UK.

She told Mike Hosking they held general elections less than two years ago and then there were two referenda, one on Scotland's independence the other on Brexit.

"A lot of concern here that turnout might be low, but given her ratings in the polls, that probably won't concern her too much," she said.
