Looks a mandate to me.
Hope she doesn't think opposition will be silenced after an election or during the campaign. It won't. Riding on favorable polls atm sounds like May thinks a good time to gain a few seats but could lose a few and really throw a monkey wrench in her hard brexit strategy.
We'll know soon enough uf she blundered or made a shrewd stategic move by calling an election.
