It is kinda trolling how you can just call an election when you think your party will do best

But it can also go horribly wrong. For example, Cameron called the Brexit referendum without wanting Brexit, which did not go as planned

I honestly believe that he was pro brexit and used his position as the lowest rated politician st that time so that left leaning people would vote against him rather than the policy. Even if that wasn't his intention (I believe it was) It was what happened.
