Analysis: How Theresa May became the latest prime minister to be beaten by Brexit.

LONDON — When Theresa May became prime minister she was hailed as a woman who could get things done. On Friday, sheTasked to deliver the most important and divisive change in Britain since the Second World War, she instead oversaw a two-and-a-half-year premiership marked by division, infighting and Brexit uncertainty.

Cameron became the first political casualty of the shock Brexit referendum when he announced his intention to quit just hours after the result came out. Both leaders staked their reputations on Brexit and lost.At first, May was hailed as a steely leader when she took power. A year earlier, in 2015, her party won an outright majority in House of Commons after working in a coalition government for the previous five years.

European Parliament elections took place in the U.K. on Thursday — the result isn't due until Sunday — with the Conservatives are expected to get as little as 7 percent of the national vote share, as Nigel Farage's new Brexit Party attracts disaffected Euroskeptic voters. But instead of winning an increased majority, her party lost seats and was forced to rely on the small Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party in a coalition government.

“The problem was that she didn’t start counting on day one, and only did when she suffered horrendous defeat. Everything that she’s done since has been too little too late,” said Roberts.

The way she had to leave is sad.

Womp womp

With her leaves the United Kingdom/Great Britain. Literally. Those terms for the nation will be obsolete in a few years this is so terrible. It'd be just little England with Wales attached. The mighty have fallen indeed. Sad & pathetic it went out with a whimper. RIp 1707-2019

She can't even do her job! She should be fired or impeached ! Nobody can hold a candle to Margaret Thatcher! You can look at may and see she is playing all the idiots who believe her! She is a lying dog

This is best example of corrupted state of mind,she is crying because she is so obsessed with 'must be successful in eyes of everyone' that she literally broke after fund not be...we have leaders who will start a war and kill millions just to save position

Turns out, she doesn't run the country of Angland, and neither does the Royal Family. It's the BIG BUSINESS E.U. Leaders that HAVE CONTROL and it's to Hell with the Anglish people. The E.U. will continue on, open borders WILL REMAIN, and Anglish people WILL BE VANQUISHED!

Two things cause government not to work greed and corruption.

Bye, bye Prime Minister Trumpette.

Why can’t this happen to Trump?
