if that is the case, then perhaps it is somewhat of an achievement that May got as far as she did with Article 50...(???)

Yea, although there's an odd disparity with the people over there. They think differently - there's an inherent peasant/serf mindset, being under the crown. Their idea of freedom is much different than ours, and that bleeds into a lot of their stances. And not just political stuff - Europe is tiny, Especially the western side. It's similar to the NE US - a couple hours to the next country. Not like Texas where it's a 12+ hour drive across! So you add just a different view of life to a different political base, and they're going to be off once you get into the actual issues and such.
