If we've learned anything over the last two years it's that the PM doesn't have absolute power or... really... any power at all without the backing of parliament. Cameron didn't want Brexit and yet was powerless to stop it. T. May has failed miserably to do much AT ALL, of anything. So, what he would LIKE to do and what he would really ever get passed through government are two completely separate things. That's why it's a bit out of proportion, for me. Realistically - I don't think he would ever get this "right to buy for private tenants" thing off the ground.
