The UK's snap election has dealt a devastating blow to Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative Party, decimating its majority and resulting in a hung parliament. May's political strategy of avoiding any meaningful discussions about Brexit has clearly backfired.
BUDAPEST – Six months ago, I predicted that British Prime Minister Theresa May’s government wouldn’t last far beyond May of this year. I expected the British people to have realized by then that the “soft Brexit” they had been promised was impossible. This would so undermine May’s authority, I anticipated, that she would have to resign. Lo and behold, the snap election that May called two months ago has now denied her Conservative Party a majority, resulting in a hung parliament
