She was between a rock and a hard spot. I couldn’t see any win coming out of her position.
In 2016, she opposed Brexit. Then the country voted for it. Why make someone leader of the party if they’re out of step with your own voters? It’s a recipe for mediocrity and failure. Despite lip service about carrying out the will of the voters, her heart was never really in the fight for Brexit. Kinda similar to what we saw that with GOP “leaders” like McCain and Romney. The base is angry and moving to the right on a bunch of issues, and they were/are trying to hold the center, please the establishment, maintain the status quo etc.
She was duplicitous from the start—a Remainer who seized power after the pro-Brexit vote by claiming she would follow through on the will of the people. All along however she was a globalist working against that will, talking doubletalk and delaying to no end, then ultimately came up with a falsely claimed Brexit that would have cemented Britain’s capture by the Continentalists even more than the status quo.
She truly was a horrid, horrid actor in this whole affair and no, nobody should feel the least bit sorry for her. She never should have grasped the prime minister role to do exactly the opposite of what she was promising her fellow countrymen — and what they had voted for.
