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

Agreed. I just take issue with the idea that this election is a repudiation of Brexit. Especially when the DUP is still for Brexit (albeit a careful or soft one due to their shared border with Ireland) and the facts that Cameron and May both campaigned against Brexit before the referendum. This is much more about May not working hard to secure votes and people questioning her leadership. She has been hit hard after the recent terror attacks and failed to respond well. She also backed out of the debates. She was a weak candidate.
quote:
Arlene Foster, the DUP leader, is keen to avoid a hard border with Ireland and has spoken against a "hard Brexit." She has said: “No-one wants to see a ‘hard’ Brexit, what we want to see is a workable plan to leave the European Union, and that’s what the national vote was about – therefore we need to get on with that. “However, we need to do it in a way that respects the specific circumstances of Northern Ireland, and, of course, our shared history and geography with the Republic of Ireland.

It was almost like May heard Hillary Clinton boasting about what a crappy campaign she ran and announced "hold my beer and watch this".
This should have been a slam dunk for the Tories. Not only did they have all the momentum going into the election but the face of Labour is a guy who can't go ten minutes without talking about how swell Hugo Chavez was and how Venezuela really is the model for the UK to follow.

The dementia tax debacle (got dementia? after you die, the government will take your house!) was much more important than the terror attacks.

Like you said it's a repudiation of May, not Brexit.
