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).
Lets just look at true fact, Corbyn ran a very effective campaign no doubt at all. Hyndburns M.P. has always been completely against Corbyn, in fact initially resigned the Labour Whip, so what that says about the 95% our M.P. insulted, is the fact most of em are obviously Labour Voters.
That's your opinion which your entitled to I have mine which is that she thought she would hit Labour when she thought they were down and out and wipe them away. That's what all the Press were saying at the time and the British Public decided not to back her.
It just makes me wonder if Labour had an exceptional Leader what might have been. I voted for Graham Jones as I like the lad and wanted him to win again.
we can all go on about should she shouldn,t she in calling this election. for me all that,s going to happen is we.ll have to go through all this again in less than twelve months time. the problem is going to be all what happens from now till the next election. see more wishy washy policies coming out and a brexit disaster about to unfold. not a happy little bunny this morning.
The daft thing is people voted for Brexit but none of the major Parties wanted it !! The Conservatives had to run with it and Cameron resigned and May picked the baton up saw a chance to enhance her position and it failed. However that still leaves the majority of us with no one really representing the views we voted for in the Brexit Referendum. I think the last two votes have been a protest vote by many who feel no one is actually giving people what we all want, a fairer society with tighter border controls, a welfare state that looks after the vulnerable and an NHS that's funded correctly.
Thing is Corbyns manifesto great as it looks,could not be funded properly, thats a certainty according to financial experts, he has conned people, especially the younger uns, cos he knew damn well he was not going to be elected,
Yes of course it is my opinion, but it is also backed up by the facts I stated.
I honour and respect the opinions of others.
Graham Jones may be a very pleasant man, but he has done nothing for our borough that instilled confidence.(again,this is just my opinion).
I expected more from him, but then maybe that is my fault.
Perhaps I need to lower my expectations.
As for the press, they are to be taken with a very large pinch of salt...they print stuff that they believe will sell papers and they play to the lowest common denominator.
I do not swallow whole what the popular media tell me...I look further if I want information.
It certainly does and has considerably weakened our bargaining power.
This will delight those in Brussels who would like to toast our hides...and I don't mean with Champagne.
I have come to the conclusion,theres a lot of dense people!! the Election was called to give the government a stronger hand in Brexit fact. Corbyn changed it to policies,fact. the suckers fell for it, whilst policies are important fact, we needed a strong hand in Brexit to pay for things and eventually get straight, the sensible course was to give government that hand, get sorted and "THEN" vote the torys out if people didn't like the policies.bit difficult for clowns to take the "Long View".
Also they forget the fact that austerity happened cos the last Labour government stupidly left us skint, remember the note they left regarding it as funny?
Yes, what short memories they have.
I think one of the problems of modern life is that everyone seems to believe they have'rights'.(no one ever mentions responsibility)
They think that they should have everything that everyone else has.
Some of the people who say they are poor still expect to smoke, have a beer, a foreign holiday, but in the next breath they tell us that they cannot afford to buy a house.
Well, forgive me while I wipe the tears from my eyes.
During the time we were newly married we did without many things, we did not have new clothes, holidays or any luxury items...just so that we could save for a house.
