That much is certain - they're goners.

I think all their calculations are based on damage-limitation. The voter suppression mindset now extended to the General Election. They'll have modelled outcomes based on having the election in every month from April to December and July will have been the 'least worst'. They want the country to be unprepared and distracted by holidays, an England run in the euros...

They could have had 10% of their mandated time and governed until December, but they know that they are incapable of doing anything good or beneficial for the nation in that time, so it can only be about softening the beating they're going to get.
