a set-up for failure. Would we laugh and ridicule if this were a male PM?

Just asking. I'm certainly not a May supporter per se, but I just don't feel the pile-on is appropriate.

She brought this on herself. Didn't have to hold a Brexit Referendum. Didn't have to abide by the Referendum. Didn't have to call a snap Election.

manipulation. She believes herself sworn to uphold the will of the people per law and in the name of democracy. I believe there was a middle ground that would have upheld both. But in her mind and the mind of many in G. Britain, she had no choice.

She did not bring this on herself. She failed. There is a difference.

When she "gets the boot", I doubt ANY of us will be laughing at what comes next.

and the Brit's woke up to what was really happening,you could see the demise of May coming.Putin and Company nearly pulled it off.

Funny is it not,everything Trump gets involved with either fails or dies.
