Obviously, the DUP would not be happy about this and would withdraw their support for the Government. Without their support she would lose her working majority and, particularly as her authority keeps being questioned, she possibly thinks that calling a GE will either end up with her receiving a larger majority to govern or she will lose and let someone else deal eith this.
I know that she said she wouldn't take the Tories into the next GE, but she has form for saying one thing and doing the opposite and may think that it's now got to the point of 'do or die'.

It would also force the Tories to choose a new leader,
if her previous claims of not continuing as leader into the next GE are to be believed? Yet there seems to be no appetite within the Tory party for anyone else to lead, an odd conundrum.
