Not on everything of course, but with specific regard to the ongoing Brexit negotiations. Someone should at least have asked the question; "What happens if it isn't a solid Tory majority?" and had a vague plan in place for transition of that... But the simple fact is, none of them thought for a second that it would be anything but a Tory landslide. Of course, it still might well be, nothing surprises me when it comes to voting outcomes these days, the voting public are for the mostpart fickle, bizarre and unpredictable. But that's the point, really. No one should assume they can "call it" - especially not those in power, for whom doing so has an actual impact.
