The usual suspects signalling their virtue hard on facebook :hehe:

[Luis Anaconda]

The Prime Minister's job is to do what she believes to be best for the country first and her party second. She can make a good case that both are best served by her calling an election, so she is entitled - even obliged - to do so. It's not like it was some sort of manifesto pledge or as if the PM has any obligation not to pīss off the opposition. The only people objecting are her opposition, who themselves are doing so for purely party political reasons themselves. Besides, they have the option of voting against this election if they're that bothered - but they're not going to do it.

In short, the objections to her calling an election are böllocks.

Typical bird really - changing her mind all the time. Quite why she vehemently denied she was going to do it so many times is the mystery.

I would agree. Why rule it out? Unless it was to encourage Labour complacency and division until she felt they'd reached a nadir of unpopularity.

Did they need encouragement? Certain ex-awimnber was still playing the Corbyn has sensible middle of the road policies card rather leaving out the cost of the whole "plan" would bankrupt the country

As you say, typical bird; they *do* move in mysterious ways their wonders to perform. Anyway, there's no real harm in a dull, stolid crone springing the odd surprise or two. You know, just to keep the thing interesting.
