It seems from her actions, that she would prefer a hard brexit, but that it be done simply out of the sheer dysfunctionalism of the current British Political system.

The EU however says if Britain leaves without paying up, then there will be no negotiations afterwards until Britain pays its dues... it's in part those payments that in the first place led to Brexit. It's in comparison quite understandable that Trump complains about NATO members not paying their fair share (European members...),

The UK can survive outside of Europe, of course there will be an adjustment period which may be unpleasant, but that is needed to get Britain off its arse and into action once again, and then let those left within Europe look on with envy.

May, off to the tower, there is a spike (metaphorically) with her name of it.

General Election, it time for political change.

Talks between Prime Minister Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, have set a new low for sham self serving wretched dishonesty.

Whether politically the electorate voted to remain a member state of the European Union or leave, is a mere side show.

Great Britain uncodified constitution, is not frame-worked in any single document.

For centuries powers to govern have evolved through common and statue law, theorists detailing and defining conventions and procedures to achieve a flexible means of democratic government.

Theresa May actions attempting to circumvent the very principles of parliamentary authority by means of a shameless masquerade inviting Jeremy Corbyn into a faustian pact to fake and swindle a withdrawal deal that Parliament has rejected on no less than three separate occasions.

The treachery, a betrayal of trust, had the deceitful May, utilising the pretence of an agenda to find a consensus with Labour, to buy time for a prolonged extension to Article 50.

The chicanery is effing outrageous.

political cowardice

Thats an understatement. The U.K. is toast!

When a nation's own government is mired in political failure to the point that it really cannot manage to govern, that is not the time to upend that nation's economy, perhaps fatally.

The referendum was an act of political cowardice in a representative democracy. Treating its result as if it mattered only made things worse. It is downhill from there.

One might need an appendectomy urgently, but when the "surgeon" is a drunk neighbor with a butter knife, perhaps it is better to wait for someone more qualified.
