re: Member Theresa May's brilliant move to call a snap election?

The election obviously went poorly for the Conservatives, however it's not quite the earthquake people are making it out to be.

The immediate effect will be almost nill, the next UK government will look and function largely unchanged from the last.

The main thing that happened was May ruining her reputation and political career.

Fascinating spin.

By any measure this was a truck wreck for May. Having to go to a minority party in attempt to form a government has hamstrung her on any brexit negotiations. She should have resigned and let someone else have a go at it.
