Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May has lost the election she called three years ahead of time, to enable her command the authority she sought to cruise though Brexit negotiations with the European Union, which begins in less than two weeks.
It’s so bad, even seats abandoned by the Tories for years, which Theresa May, the Conservative leader specifically went campaigning for were returned to Labour, with decisive victories.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, has already called on May to resign, but the BBC reports she intends to stay put.
The world, as seen through the eyes of Twitter, is having a field day with Mrs. May’s defeat.

Unfruitful campaign
Labour HOLD Bolton North East. The seat where Theresa May launched her election campaign. Looks foolish and naive now. #GE2017

Tories fall short in yet another target seat, the Welsh constituency of Wrexham. LAB hold. Theresa May campaigned there *a lot*.

Calling a snap election cost £143,000,000, paid for by taxpayers. That's a lot of nurses, teachers and police. Theresa May MUST GO pic.twitter.com/G3Ki4yb7d6

No more authority
We know Theresa May can't now negotiate Brexit for Britain because she told us losing majority would destroy her authority—and it has.
