Very true. But that imo goes back to the fact she was a remainer.
She tried to establish her credentials for brexit by setting stringent red lines. She did that to impress the hardliners. These hardliners have been a tail wagging the dog of the tory party since before the ref.
The ref result was misread by them and by May. 51.9% majority is not a "leave - yes!!" vote is more of a "leave - erm, yes?" result. Brits are not extremist.
For a successful brexit she should have ignored the nutters and gone for a soft brexit with support of Labour (that's what Corbyn really wants so). That would be more than likely to get through parliament.
As it is hardline nutters and her overreached themselves and ended up with the current sh1tstorm. Serves them right.
I'm not complaining. Brexit is not in this country national interest no matter what right wing europhobes claim.
The failure of May's plan gives some hope for more time and possible second referendum.
