I think that if Theresa May jacked the job in she'd sit back and thank her lucky stars the job was over, done with and finished.

I liken this brexit lark to a company trying to buy what wasn't for sale. The "seller" asks a ridiculously high price in the first place, then, after protracted "negotiations", eventually agrees terms.

The company negotiating team take back (to the board of directors and shareholders) the best deal they can come up with in the face continued opposition to ANY deal and they get a smack in the chops with calls for their immediate dismissal and claims that others "could do a better deal".

How the heck can you negotiate with people that really don't want to negotiate at all?
