Its a simple choice really, the route being taken, or go back and run the election again, with no guarantee the same thing wont happen again. Meanwhile, weeks and months go by and nothing gets done.

Its not a great situation, but it is what it is, so its best to wait at least a few months, let the electorate take a breath, and then have a new election when hopefully there will be a clearer result.

As I understand it, she might not get it passed anyway? Especially if some of her own party are unhappy with the deal with the DUP. I don't know...maybe she has more chance this way.

Can't be arsed with another election. I would honestly rather have noone in power and they have to fight it out among themselves to get anything passed. Though I hear May has decided its 'the end of austerity' which if true is good...austerity clearly is not working and so many economists have said you cannot cut your way out of recessions. Hopefully she will reverse the savage cuts she made to disabled people, but somehow I doubt it :/
