Britain has changed Prime Minsters 24 times since 1916, half of those without calling an election (BBC website)

The most recent being Brown, Major and Callaghan, so May should feel no compunction to call an election; and from a "public mandate" perspective nor should she in my opinion. The electorate are mandated to choose a government and it should be left at that. The PM is head of a team, not a dictator and as incumbent PMs regularly reshuffle their Cabinet members should the electorate be asked to vote on those changes too? No thanks

Anyway, the fixed five-year term law would need repealing which I believe requires the agreement of all Parties, and for all I know agreement in the Lords too

However, if agreement on repealing was reached, from a political perspective I do think May should consider an early election. With Labour in meltdown they are surely unelectable at present and with what appears to be Hard Left/Anarchic infiltration taking place will probably remain so for sometime: the '80s got nothing on this

So team leader Theresa May might be against an early election but her team might want it: democracy rules UK?
