it would appear theresa may and the rest of the conservatives were suffering from a massive dose of what can only be described as HUBRIS. so she calls the election believing labour to be weak so she can get a massive majority to ensure the STRONG AND STABLE government and also she can show that the country is behind her in brexit talks. now she loses the majority she has. the tory party is split, also she retreated so often over the manifesto when ever ther was the slightest opposition. anyone negotiating with her is just going to think . 'lets take a hard line, she will give in at any point' also she took for granted the pensioners. she has no mandate. and is entering into some strange faustinian pact with the DUP. so the UKS population of 60 million plus now has to give way to the 300,000 who voted DUP. a party who are about as right wing as the taliban. do not accept gay marriage. may be a slight problem when their closest trade partner has a gay prime minister.
so lets get this clear. the tories have. in the last 12 months called for 2 elections which they did not need . and have lost them both.
any ideas anyone ?
