At least Theresa has plenty of shoulders to cry on on 14:08 - Jun 10 by Swansea_Blue
I never understood the mandate arguement. She had one. The referendum gave her the mandate to take us out of the EU.
Yes, there is the argument over what the exit looks like. But as the government they had the mandate to manage the process. It make no sense when people say she needed a mandate to strengthen a hard brexit approach. If she did want to achieve that, why didn't she make Brexit the cornerstone of her campaign and outline her wishes for Brexit in detail in their manifesto?
More like a knee-kerk attempt at power grab off the back of some juicy polls.
She needed more bods in the house to see off any backbench revolt that might emerge when she fails to get a good deal with Europe.
