Will there be a snap election in the near future in the UK?
The snap general election in June was an object lesson in the perils of political hubris: Theresa May calculated that her chances of securing a tidy Commons majority were so strong and Labour so weak that it would be foolish to pass up the opportunity.
She was urged by the Daily Mail to “crush the saboteurs”, strengthen her negotiating hand in Brussels and claim her own personal mandate to implement Brexit — liberating her once and for all from the grubby legacy of the Leave campaign. None of which, of course, happened.
Instead, the PM squandered the majority won by David Cameron in 2015, watched as the supposedly unelectable Corbyn claimed 40 per cent of the vote, and was forced to buy the parliamentary support of the Democratic Unionist Party with taxpayers’ money so she might limp on in office.
