No, she didn't.
She called an election because the referendum went in favour of Brexit.
Cameron turned and ran.
The people kept sniping, telling TM that she was unelected, that she had no mandate from the electorate, that she was not being true to the party manifesto.
That meant she had little choice but to go to the country and ask for the mandate.
That is it in a nutshell.
All elections are a gamble regardless of when they are called.
This result is not good news for the country, but the country has spoken.
Now we have to get on with the task of clearing up the mess...so get your sleeves rolled up and get ready to put some BAS in( britches arse steam).
