UK Prime Minister Theresa May Calls for Election

The UK Prime Minister has recently called for a general election in hopes of allowing her party to gain more support in parliament, and then finally breaking away from the European Union. With the UK finally making it's decision to leave the EU, there have been many mixed views on how negotiations and conflicts will be resolved, as well as the position of continuing relationships with Europe. Due to these mixed views, leaving the EU has been difficult, and Theresa May has not been able to push for negotiations. With this new election, there are hopes that more power will be given to Theresa May, and her party, allowing her to take the actions she needs to remove the UK from the EU as soon as possible, without backlash from other parties.
