A huge amount would then depend on what Nigel Farage does. If he’s holding hands with Boris under the table - highly likely, given the sudden enthusiasm for an election - then the Tories will be the only out-and-out Brexit party in any seat that matters. The continuity remain vote will be split two or three ways, depending on where in the country you are.
National polling for the Tories is still a little too low for my liking (around the 35% mark) but local variation may count for a lot and I suspect they are holding on to some useful private polls in central office, otherwise they wouldn’t be so gung ho right now.
However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We still have an attempted opposition coup and the ritual slaughter of the Tory Left to look forward to before anything else happens this week.
