Britain's May: Get Rid of Me and Brexit Is Doomed
newsmax.com ^

Posted on 11/18/2018 8:53:14 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Britain's besieged Prime Minister Theresa May is warning that a leadership change wouldn't make Brexit negotiations easier, as opponents in her Conservative Party threaten to unseat her.

May insisted she hasn't considered quitting as furious Conservative rebels try to gather the numbers to trigger a no-confidence vote. She told Sky News in an interview that "a change of leadership at this point isn't going to make the negotiations any easier and it isn't going to change the parliamentary arithmetic."

...

Britain's former Brexit secretary has slammed May for lacking political will and resolve when dealing with the European Union over Brexit negotiations.

Dominic Raab, who resigned Thursday, suggested that May failed to stand up to bullying EU officials. He told the Sunday Times: "If we cannot close this deal on reasonable terms, we need to be very honest with the country that we will not be bribed and blackmailed or bullied and we will walk away."

Raab added that "there is one thing that is missing and that is political will and resolve."

“Get Rid of Me and Brexit Is Doomed “

It is amazing to me that anyone believed a "remainer" like May could negotiate a good Brexit deal.

Her heart just isn't in it. Never was.

Her statement proves that Great Britain as founded is dead.

May appears supremely willful and resolved to go "my way or the highway."

From what I have read about her agreement, its ratification will end Brexit.

May must have brushed up on her Alinsky.

So let me make sure I understand this statement. The British voted to exit the EU but May says they can't do it if she's not in charge? Is this Hubris or flat out Arrogance? Both?

The vote was to exit the EU. Just do it. Be your own country again. Don't be a pawn in the master plan by globalists. Sheesh! So simple a caveman could do it!

To allow the dictator in Germany (Merkel) to be in charge of the UK is craziness. Did the UK learn nothing from two world wars?

“Britain’s May: Get Rid of Me and Brexit Is Doomed”

UK People: We are leaving the EU.

UK Government: We've been told to leave the EU. But can we still be friends for the sake of the businesses?

GrossdEUtschland: If you want to deal with us, you have to live in the basement and wear this gimp suit... and allow all of our new friends from Africa and Asia move in with you.

Indeed, her head should already be bouncing down the steps of Parliament (figuratively speaking). Literally speaking, also acceptable.

It’s fantasy to suppose that A, B, or C could have got a better deal than May. You don’t get much out of a deal if you go into negotiation, as May had no choice but to do, with the other side holding all the cards, and when you’re asking for a lot and have nothing to offer in return.
