No, I have not missed your point, I was putting your comments in context.

As for being the worst Conservative Government ever, this impression appears to have been gained because Brexit has been the main topic of debate for the last couple of years and other matters have taken a back seat. The whole thing has been frustrating for everyone. The public is concerned because they get only snippets of information and don't really know what's going on. You get ministers resigning because they don't think they will get everything they want and party discipline is difficult to maintain with the lack of a majority. That is exactly why TM went to the country last time, but unfortunately spectacularly failed to increase the number of seats. That appears to have been caused by the funding of social care arrangements. Two big issues that would have tested any government.

I will make my mind up about Theresa May's leadership when I see the result of this negotiation with the EU, and not before. Chequers is now dead apparently, so let's see what transpires. I think it is too early to rush to judgement yet, even though most of the population appear to have done so already.
