Well, she got past phase 1 and went on to secure a deal with the EU. It's Parliament, not the EU who have failed to sign it off.
She could have done even better and achieved a very good deal, but she caved. We will see if the next PM can do better.

What deal is that? There is NO ongoing deal on offer from the EU. Unless you count the WA as an underhand, backdoor indefinite deal.
Not sure how continued freedom of movement, submitting to EU rules and the ECJ, no outside trade deals allowed, could be classed as a good deal. The only thing the EU "gave up" was our money, and they're still going to get a huge chunk of it.

They could make voting easier i.e at the weekend like any normal country, online voting etc. However I have a feeling those in power don't want to increase turnout,...

Surely voting has to be a carefully considered activity and purposefully done. Not something that is done casually and thought to have no big impact, such as voting for Love Island or X factor etc.
