Theresa May is the new victim of 'politics of the meltdown' meme spreading across the world. It's a good job the UK has such strict gun laws or last week conservatives wouldn't have just been metaphorically shooting themselves in the feet, there would have been a few head shots too.
You would have thought that the Brexit negotiations would have been enough for any prime minister to handle, that those negotiations would need all the concentration and focus any one person can possess , but not Theresa, she thought a general election might be a good 'warm up' for the Brexit negotiations, she probably envisaged herself getting on the eurostar to Brussels with a group of Tory fans chanting 'easy easy' all the way there like misguided Arsenal fans usually start their european adventures.
So now she has no majority in Parliament and relies on 'The Flintstones' of the DUP to get her through to the next elections, she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
So now we are all waiting for the circling Tory sharks to attack, but will they? Sharks like 'live' bait and Theresa is dead in the water. Her task has just become more difficult by about 1000% , and all because somebody whispered in her ear that she was 'unstoppable' 'strong' and 'stable'.... oh dear.
She now faces negotiations over an agreement on Brexit - which she didn't support- an agreement that will shape the face of economics in the UK for decennia to come, not backed by the whole of her own party, and seeing Labours Grizzly Adams- Corbyn in the ascendency. The peace agreement in Northern Ireland is put on a shaky -not stable- hold for the benefit of herself and her shaky-not stable government.
What are the odds of her getting a 'decent' agreement for the UK on Brexit? I'd say about 27/1 against.
