Yup. She threw it away herself. She should have walked it but ran the worst campaign I have ever seen. At times it really did seem like she wanted to lose. I still don't know if it was on purpose or if she genuinely is just arrogant and assumed she would walk it regardless.

Uncosted manifesto, constant u-turns, refusing to say what she classes as a 'wealthy pensioner' for the means testing of benefits. No cap on social care proposals...refusal to do TV appearances. Inability to answer any question about her own policies without mentioning Corbyns name. Refusal to answer questions from normal people on the few tv appearances she did actually do. Fox hunting, ivory, just bonkers really.

The means testing pensioner benefits and social care 'dementia tax' I agreed with from the Tory manifesto too (in principle..obviously my support depends on figures. If she was going to say 5k per year or something ridiculous for the benefits thing then nope). Those were the two that seemed to enrage everyone else

I just cannot believe how close this actually was. When people say every vote counts, I always think that it doesn't make much difference really..but this time it really would have.

I do wonder quite how much sway the media has in this too. With numbers being so close. Could have had a very different result if not for the media onslaught.
