Yes it was.

She came out for it then had to reverse it. There were other things too. Winter fuel allowances. Her cuts in police were hammered, especially after the terror attacks. Corbyn and Labour hit her hard repeatedly and she never really responded.

She never seemed to have any urgency over this. It's as if she almost felt that she was entitled to a good result.

Agreed, and most people in the US are unaware of what this was about.

Most brit voters really didn't know who Theresa May was before this election, so they projected their own ideals on to her. Then the election happened, they see her campaign, flip flop on some horrendous ideas, bungle the manifesto entirely, hide from the debate, learn how bad she was a Home Sec, and began to see her as arrogant.

While Gove will never be PM, I hope people hear him out again about detoxification of the Conservative Party.

It never really mattered if they lost seats or not. The Ulster Unionists would always be there to shore up the Tories.

The cold hard truth for Labour is, this was their shot and because Corbyn is their Leader, they never had a chance in hell.
