Yet with grim determination, she moves forward, steadily, surely. She'd get a medal if she was on the battlefield.

That is ridiculous, with all due respect.

All the indications were that TM would sail home with a thumping majority, which would have given her the authority she needed to get on with Brexit. How can you blame her for taking advantage of that?

As it happens, the campaign was ill thought out by her advisors, and Jeremy was able to extract more votes out of the system by manipulating the young. Those were the two things that went wrong, so blame Theresa if you must, but you are aiming your accusations at the wrong person.

Yes I don't think that anyone without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight can blame her for deciding on an election given the situation at the time. It was however a very poor campaign and she can be blamed for some of that. Frankly the lies Labour told during the campaign were a disgrace but a lot of people believed them. Many have since learned how wrong they were to do so. May has been as much under siege as Trump and it's been a severe test just to survive.
