U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May would only have herself to blame if an awful election campaign results in embarrassment, political analysts have told CNBC.
While a vast majority of observers still expect May to emerge victorious on Thursday, a Survation poll published last weekend placed the prime minister's ruling right-wing Conservative Party ahead by just a single percentage point. This has forced investors to consider a vast range of possible election outcomes.
May has come under intense scrutiny over security concerns in the wake of the London Bridge attacks at the weekend, in which seven people died. Corbyn argued that May had "presided" over significant cuts to police numbers over the past seven years and as a result, he backed calls for the prime minister to resign on Monday.
