That's all spurious though, the only reason the election was called was because she thinks (probably correctly) that she'll cement Tory power for the foreseeable future.
I can't believe anyone (other than politicians) are saying anything different.
If the Tory's win by a landslide they will be able to claim they have a mandate to do whatever they want. They will then only face opposition from within their party.
What will be interesting is whether once all the MPs have their seats locked in, if they maintain the same unequivocal allegiance.

Others still suggest that a bigger majority back home will make it harder to force concessions - if it was very marginal whether something would fly back home, she could have said "you've got to give me more than that, I won't be able to squeeze that through"; you can't do this if you've got a whacking majority.
