I think most people acknowledge that Boris has little choice but to call an election immediately after Brexit. He only has a majority of 1, so all the renegades would have a field day, holding him to ransom over everything he wanted to push through.

This chaos has to stop, and an election appears to be the only way to bring back some sanity to our Parliament. His personal popularity, coupled with a grateful electorate relieved to see Brexit finally ddlivered, will guarantee him a good working majority.
Under the old Parliamentary arithmetic her deal passes every time.
