To grab power of course! If she hadn't changed tack the loonies in her party would have never got behind her.

Also worth noting that Theresa May did not play a major role in the referendum, which meant that the "Stronger In" campaign were not able to make an issue of the European Arrest Warrant as we would have liked. She clearly saw the writing on the wall and decided to maneuver for power instead.
