Initial predictions are that the labor party is going to get rocked in the upcoming british elections, just called by the prime minister.

What is wrong with that party? You'd think they would be benefiting (politically) from a growingly diverse electorate like the democrats in America.

YouGov:

Con 48 (+4)
Lab 24 (+1)
Lib Dems 12
UKIP 7 (-3)
Others 9 (-1)

Would be the highest vote share for any party in about half a century.

Two words, Jeremy Corbyn. He is a radical even by progressive European standards.

Yep, he is responsible for practically destroying the Labour Party for the foreseeable future.

SNP have essentially killed any chance the Labour have of victory by taking a bunch of Labour seats in Scotland.

Seems like a good time for the LibDems to make a push.

This. I'd give Scottish Independence better than even odds right now. Leaving the EU is going to break up the UK.

Look for Northern Ireland to push to leave if Sinn Fein makes the gains they currently appear poised to make.
