Oh, no, no, no. May will deliver exactly what she promised - a "red, white and blue Brexit". Whatever that means...
Brexiters are gullible fools, who didn't plan beyond the referendum, upon which "achievement" the people, responsible for swindling the country into voting against its interest, declared that their job was done. And the morons, who believed their blatantly false slogans and the chest-thumping rhetoric and voted to leave - didn't even try to hold them accountable.
That's why the process of leaving the EU is in the hands of someone, who campaigned for "Remain". And you have no say in the proceedings. Your participation ended at the referendum. Now all you get to do, until the next election is stand in the corner and grimly watch adults try to clean up your mess. (I don't mean you personally, as I don't know if you voted).
Whatever happens - most of the country will be unhappy anyway. So Maggie May and the Funky Bunch can pretty much do whatever they please.

Uhm, that's probably because at least half the country (possibly a lot more) doesn't want to leave the EU. Brexit - just like Drumpf presidency - was a political stunt, that went too far. And it's going to cost all of us.
