What I don’t understand is all I keep reading is that May is a remainer at heart. If that’s correct then I don’t understand why she hasn’t already just ordered a further referendum. Screw the hardliners in her party. She can easily justify it by realising mountains of evidence to show a) lies that were told about leaving, b) how difficult it is going to be to obtain what the leavers want. Basically say to the people, to leave it will have to be a hard Brexit, this will be the believed consequences of such an action, are you still sure you want to leave?
However when we have a prime minister who allegedly told her health minister that he was moving jobs and he said ‘no’ so she just went ‘ok’. I don’t think this will happen.
May was a Remainer but when Cameron quit she saw the way things were going and so jumped into “Brexit mean Brexit” mode.
She probably still believes we are better off in the EU, but there is no real way for her to flip back while keeping power. I guess the only possible way she could do it would be if the polls suddenly showed that a huge percentage had changed their minds/wanted another referendum.
