OK , so what you are saying is that a general election is required in order to get rid of the corruption in her party so that we can leave the EU because we don't like their corruption.

What they are saying it is a smoke screen.

Was scared of Corbyn's growing popularity?

More likely she knows things are going to be so bad by 2020 that even Corbyn has a chance in beating her.

Expenses scandal coming. Its a distraction.

The problem (or saving grace if you're a Tory Grandee) is that rumoured arrests maybe shelved because of this.

Personally I think that the individual MPs were railroaded into electoral expenses rigging by TPTB and then left swinging in the wind when it all came out.

You mean she would have to have something like 26 by-elections so no Tory majority?

Oh, and there was me, thinking she had bigger balls than Gordon Brown, who bottled out of an October election despite him being almost sure of a good majority and his own personal endorsement from the electorate. Silly me. One of his better (very best?) decisions, I think.
