I think she was done in by ambitious people in her own party who were tired of waiting for their turn. The same thing happened to Tony Blair. One reason why it should be two terms than out. You need to get out of the way, even if the people behind you aren’t of your stature.

One thing about John Major is that he was very pro-EU. Not only was he responsible for swinging the Tories further left, but he is exemplary of foreign interference in a sovereigh countrys elections, having the help of the EC behind him back then, what with his being the UKs chief negotiator of the Treaty of Maastricht that resulted in the EC changing into the EU.
Parliamentary systems arent the same as the US system. And even notwithstanding that, it took the 22nd Amendment to institute term limits for the executive; in parliamentary systems, the prime minister is still part of the legislature, so there is no on-paper separation of powers in that respect, and that of course leads to the issue of term limits for representatives in the nations government.
