Theresa May: A Political Obituary
2019-05-27
[NATIONALREVIEW] Theresa May said today that it was a matter of "deep regret" that she hasn’t delivered Brexit. But three years ago, it seems, a half-competent leader could have enacted a persuasive and moderate Brexit with a comfortable majority. A half-competent leader, making the kinds of mistakes Theresa May has made, would also have known when to quit. She has been entirely uncompromising on that front ‐ resigning only when forced to.

Which is why I don’t feel in the least bit sorry for the trembling ninny. As far as political obituaries go, Mrs. May is survived by the disintegrated remains of the Tories and populist drain (the Brexit party). How’s that for a legacy?

#2  Seems to me, her problem was that she was an opponent of Brexit and did every thing she could to prevent its implementation.

Now that we are seeing a conservative (relatively speaking of course) in European politics, Brexit is potentially being left in the dust as several new governments are looking at the sinister impenetrable monolith that is EU governance.

#1  "She's (politically) dead, Jim!"

It's always been amazing to me that certain individuals (such as Theresa here) have the political skills to reach the top, but are otherwise lacking in actual leadership ability or general intelligence. But of course this is a common malady among the self-described "elites" (spit).
