Theresa May and the Brexit Gamble

For many bookmakers, it was going to be a landslide for Prime Minister Theresa May as the election draws close with so much anticipation already in the air. In a similar fashion, both political analyst and UK social commentators have predicted a massive moon slide for the chief occupant of the Great Number 10. Seemingly, While the above bask in a cuspidal political fashion, the European community wasn't left out in the dissection as they watched closely with tight-fisted arms. For the records, Brexit means Brexit.    

Nobody gave Jeremy Corbyn a chance as all eyes became fixated on Prime Minister May, in whose decision brought about the now anticipated snap election. According to May, this will further strengthen her drive in pursuing squarely the realisation of the New United Kingdom anchored on the people's will. May who wanted a full house otherwise known as a parliament majority by her side when the negotiation eventually starts, believe that this election will no doubt meet just that which she so badly need in pursuance of the Brexit dream.  

From Scotland to Wales, From London down to Northern Ireland, the arguments about Brexit pondered through the mind of every UK citizen as though their life depended on the eventual outcome of events given the odds that now favours Mrs May Brexit journey. No doubt, the decision on whether Brexit stays or not had been greeted with ill feelings given the suzerain cooperation that had existed in this 28-bloc nation prior to the June 2016 UK referendum that saw the sudden resignation of Prime Minister David Cameron.

Having given the chance to take the Brexit negotiation process to another level, May who now occupies the Downing arena following the ousted Cameron obviously could have easily gone ahead with the process of actualising Brexit. However, Mrs May just like her predecessor wanted to test not just political strength but also, she wanted to psychoanalyse the mind of all and sundry who now seem to be onboard the Brexit ship Nolens Volens. Well, some will say smart "move" but how smart remains a big question awaiting June 8.

Just like the Swift tsunami of article 50, June 8 soon came to all parties as they assembled for the much-awaited snap election that will eventually earn Mrs May not just a majority alliance but also cements her confidence level in furtherance of her impassioned Brexit solitude.

The election which was greeted with high hopes on the part of a Theresa May landslide over arch rival Jeremy Corbyn of the Labour Party soon came crashing unexpectedly at the fore of Mrs May who would never have fathom such political disaster when she confidently convinced Parliament the need for a snap election. From Wales to Northern Ireland even to her major constituent in London, the votes rebelled gallantly against the conservatives. As for May, the embarrassment became top class when the results showed she couldn't even garner a tiny majority needed to form a government.

Worst still. the status quo couldn't be retained as the conservatives lost more seat to their Labour Party rivals led by Jeremy Corbyn who nobody pretty gave a chance, but whose last minutes political rhymes changed the entire calculations for Mrs May Brexit negotiation.

For Mrs May, a coalition government remains the best bet if the ball must continue to move, though in much consensus pace. The Democratic Unionist Party who barely have got enough seat had already indicated interest in this regard. But then, at what cost. Harder Brexit or a more Softer Brexit. Though the conservatives still remain the largest political party as it stands. In terms of running a government, they now depend on an outright coalition to carry on the process of negotiation.

However the case file, the question remains thus- Will Parliament agree to some of her hard line standings? Will this Brexit thing see the light of day? How likely is it that a second referendum might not crop up should the now restructured commons signifies a yea moments?.



He writes:
The prime minister has sent a team of officials, led by her chief whip, Gavin Williamson, to Belfast to negotiate the details of an alliance with the DUP.
“A coalition would be much better than a looser alliance”, one senior minister said. “We don’t want the DUP demanding money for this or that project they fancy every time we need them to support us in a vote. That would be deeply unstable.”


Mrs May sharp turn of policy arrangement came as a huge shock to many who saw through the walls. From her hard line on a free market structure to a sudden U-turn over financing social care, Mrs May stance became too dreaded even to those who wanted Brexit, not mentioning a large portion who never wanted a Brexit yes referendum.

Meanwhile. while Mrs May struggled with odds and subsequent gamble, Corbyn took the far left pledges of tax business, nationalise railways and utilities, and yet a softer Brexit.

Should Mrs May fail in the short run coordinating the right Cardinals in terms of forming a stronger alliance good enough for the government, Parliament may have no other option than to call for another round of election soonest.

May Gambled her political strength yet couldn't achieve the anticipated results rather she got a wild disapproval from all corners of the spectrum.
