She could try, but Labour could just block it as now you need to pass a vote of no confidence, or a resolution to hold an early election to pass with a two-thirds majority to force an early election due to the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act of 2011. Or just repeal the act.
At any rate, unless the government decides it has no confidence in itself then it's unlikely to happen.

Murdo, I agree that their trident stance is something that makes them un-electable.
I wondered if there were any other reasons?
I think there's a much unloved left wing/socialist strain in the country that could be appealed to by someone with SOME of Corbyn's policies. Less greedy train companies for example, nationalisation of some key assets that are important to national security - that sort of stuff.
Also, the electorate are knackered - we've just voted on something, we probably need a little break before politicians come and ask us what to do again.
