Thankfully her majority is razor thin so there's a strong chance this may not get through :)

Who exactly is going to oppose it? May has built a narrative where anyone opposing these ludicrous, far-reaching breaches of privacy is on the side of terrorists and paedophiles.
May was frightening when she was in the Home Office; as Prime Minister, the thought of what she is likely going to do is absoletely terrifying.

She also built up a narrative of strong and stable leadership against a terrorist sympathising coalition of chaos but, to quote Emily Thornberry, there we are.

Are you being sarcastic? I honestly can't tell!

What I'm saying is:
- she campaigned against a Labour "terrorist sympathising coalition of chaos"
- loses her majority
- forms a confidence and supply deal with the DUP, inherently less strong and stable than a coalition
- DUP has a horrific record on LGBT rights and abortion
- DUP is backed and has links to terrorist groups today (not just way back when like Sinn Fein)

I thought she had a minority, meaning she can't do anything without the support of at least one of the other parties. At any time all of these parties would prefer a reelection, they can simply vote against the government and get it.

I meant in combination with a DUP deal, which is close to finalisation.
Funny that she spends a campaign calling Corbyn a terrorist sympathiser and now needs the DUP to prop up her government.
