Vote today to show that ‘democracy will not be deterred by terrorists,’ says Theresa May – Chopper’s Election … – Telegraph.co.uk

People should vote in the election to show that democracy will not be deterred by terrorists,Theresa May said today.

The Prime Minister said that Britons face a choice at the election between her and Jeremy Corbyn "leading the country into the future, not just getting Brexit right but also ensuring we havea vision for the future".

She added: It is also very important because this election campaign has seen two terrible terrorist attacks taking place during the campaign, and I will hope that people go out to vote to show that our democracy will not be deterred by the terrorists.

The Conservative leader made the comments in an interview for The Telegraphs Choppers Election Podcast with Christopher Hope, Chief Political Correspondent.

Mrs May disclosed that her husband Philip had been secretly campaigning in other constituencies to help secure a Conservative victory.

She said: He has been campaigning, but he has been campaigning in a number of seats.Rather than just being with me, he has actually been out there knocking on doors and working for other candidates.

Mrs May also denied that she was a Maybot who gave robotic answers.

She said: No, what I have done in getting out and about around the country, I think people do see that is one of the great opportunities is to be able to interact with voters directly, to be able to hear directly from them andthem being able to hear directly from me.

Mrs May also refused to rule out commissioning a new royal yacht Britannia to help sell Britain overseas to trading partners.

Asked if she would back a privately funded yacht she said she would not be tempted down a policy route adding only that we are going to take various steps to make sure we get those trade deals andget them right.

Asked to say why people should vote Conservative in a single tweet, she said: Because I and my team have the plan to ensure we get the Brexit negotiations right and they start 11 days after election day.

But we also have a vision for a stronger, fairer, more prosperous Britain for everybody, and that is what we will do if in Government.

Explaining the length of the tweet, she added: I dont tweet so I was mentally calculating 140 characters."
