re: #102 Targetpractice

…

It’s success was the worst possible scenario for the Tories because they had no plan for the damned thing actually happening. They figured Brexit would barely make it into the double digits, so they had no roadmap or preliminary plan for the negotiations that invoking Article 50 would required. Then they compounded their bad luck by having a leadership crisis, with Cameron bailing and catching Johnson and Farange with the shrapnel on the way out. May wasn’t handed a shitty situation, she volunteered for the job, and then upped the level of fucked the party found itself in by calling snap elections that cost them their majority.

…

Nobody thought it would pass but it did. So May volunteered to “save the day” when Cameron bailed and she exacerbated the situation. But, given that Brexit actually passed, was there any Tory who would have handled the situation better? If not, then is it fair to blame her except for her ignorance in thinking she could do anything? So if she hadn’t volunteered, it would be a different Tory who would be reaping all the abuse.
