Re: Theresa May must resign

The referendum result was to leave. It was Theresa May who put forward the idea of a withdrawal agreement as a bridge between where we are now and where we want to be. Unfortunately, certain factions have used this against her and have deliberately muddied the waters. Had she not suggested the withdrawal agreement, I am sure the process of leaving the EU without such an agreement would have just gone through!

The Brexit people voted for, when you look at it, was a hard Brexit. Theresa was the woman with a plan. That is now being used against her.

There is absolutely no-one else with the balls to see this through, as you have acknowledged, Den. Credit where credit is due, don't you think?
Her choice - she had a majority, called a snap election and her stated reason was to strengthen her hand in Brexit negotiations

Her call - the blame for all this is on her.
