Theresa May has endlessly since becoming Pm completely ruled out any election before 2020.
The difference now being in a very short time she now has decided she is.

The Fixed term parliament act was designed to ensure continuance of govt. for 5 years and to actually stop Prime Ministers calling the shots as to elections that suit them.

Which is why I'd have preferred her to repeal that fixed term act and then call the election.
She is right to want an election when she can win it seems,as would be any PM.

However after so long of saying herself a general election would be wrong, then to suddenly go for one, that is my gripe with her decision and judgement.
For me and again just my view as all posts usually are just people's views on here,that turnaround makes me for one, doubt her word on anything even more than I did before.

He was never popular but calling that lady a bigot live on air kind of sank the nails in his political coffin.
