Theresa May could lose outright majority-exit poll, page-38

Another possibility is that it's payback for calling an election for no reason other than the perceived possibility of burying her political opponents. After saying several times she would not call an early election, she called one, making her appear untrustworthy....a dangerous perception in the era of the "anti politician." I think the expression is "Hoist on her own petard."
