Unfortunately it's partly because her own party wouldn't accept it. Still don't now. Norman Lamont was on PM last night warning against any deal that included Labour support to get it through parliament.
So even though I'm not defending her as she hasn't tried till now, you can hardly build cross party discussion and agreement when you can't be confident your own side are on board with that strategy!
The frustrating thing is pretty much no party seems willing to set aside any political advantage and do the right thing for the UK, rather than one that looks good for them
