I just don't understand why May has done this at all, she didn't need to. Much like she didn't need to call the election in the first place tbh

Also its really annoying that anyone who opposes Tory plans is labelled a 'Corbynite' tbh. Especially as man y voted for the party, not for him in particular.

if she didn't do that, she would likely not get the queens speech passed, it would then pass to labour to have a go who have even less chance of success


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.

edit, just to clarify. People get sick, people die, not everyone is physically capable of attending every vote, so if there isn't a sizeable buffer (and 10 DUP's isn't) then its only a matter of time till a lost vote and a vote of no confidence
