Yeah in hindsight that likely wasn't the correct word. I just looked up the meaning and it says "overly sexual" so maybe it is better than the word whore but in this current political climate / predicament that she finds herself in, she seems willing to do anything, for anyone at any cost. Maybe the word(s) to describe her do more harm than good. When Leadsom called her out through the leadership race about not having kids she brushed it off as nothing, but clearly her role as PM has shown how impotent she is at every single thing she ever touches. It is not her fault that she can't have kids, but it is her fault that we all have a PM that we need to baby like a little kid. She is a disgrace to women, and she disgusts me.
I remember watching the highlight reel of the last PMQs that Cameron had and when we said it was "2-0" for women PMs to the Tories but all she did is gush and giggle like a little child on the benches - and that has been what it feels like with her as PM. A little child who needs the grown ups (whether in cabinet or the back benches, the media, Brussels or anywhere else) to all tell her what to do, and make her do it. After the abysmal election the 1922 committee had to control her to fire Hill and Timothy (glove up her butt / puppet style), then the cabinet with their wars which went right over her head (no matter how much she tried to reign authority), then the back bench rebels along with Brussels diplomats (she caved into them, every single time) and now women in Parliament over abortion. That is just like 4 or 5 examples of like...hundreds, everyone else says "Jump" and May says "do the 4 inches count if I wear stilettos?"
They all keep tugging at her getting a piece of the pie and she is totally unable to fight back - just paralyzed sitting there and taking it. Either that or she is the collective responsibility of everyone and once everyone has had a dip into her, they just pass her onto the next person. If that isn't the definition of a political whore, I dunno what is. I really don't mean to be vulgar / graphic in this discussion so please tell me, if you have the word for her kind of weakness / paralysis, then please tell me - by all means, I am all ears.
If a woman behaved like this at a party, we would all know what to call her (crowd-surfing her way over every guy going), so in political terms, what would you call it?
Only as a woman, I would never behave like this and no woman with half a shred of decency would, either.

If anything, she is guilty of being two-faced: a Remainer one minute and then an ardent Leaver the next. But then, how many politicians are not two-faced? Corbyn, is positively venal! At the first whiff at the prospects of power, he dropped how many decades of staunch anti-EU behaviour and became one of the Remain cheerleaders. Ok, he was pathetic at it which maybe was by design but the bottom line is he is as bad as May.

Any other PM would have crushed Corbyn and truth be told, any other competent LOTO would have crushed her into pieces in the last GE. They are as bad as each other? More like they are fit for one another.
I don't doubt the latter part of your analysis but I think that he did such a dreadful job of campaigning to stay in the first place (through the referendum) that it is part of the reason that we are trying to leave - traditional union voters didn't seem very moved by his performance.
There are few principled people left on the remain side, those in Parliament anyway. Lammy is one and I think Ken Clarke is one on the Tory side but like Lab's front benches (with the exception of Steimer) they all are carrying the water of "the people voted for it".
Osbourne is livid with May (though he seems to have eased lately) and I am principled enough to say I voted remain, I am still pro remain and even though the majority of Brits voted to leave, it does not change my view of the EU. I hate people who flip flop. Jeremy Hunt is an example of that. For May, that is the least of her screw ups.
But my problem is that Corbyn half enabled this with his no show through the referendum.
