    She made some mistakes, but I actually believe had the circumstances been better she would have made a decent prime minister. The successors to that office have been woefully underwhelming, lacking even a shred of decency and competence.

      The issue I take with her and this is less of a personal issue of her but rather an issue with politics in general is that she never tried to work with labour to fix the whole brexit mess. Had the moderate parts of labour and the tories worked together on brexit they could have ignored the extremes on both sides. I think immediately after the very narrow vote there should have been a cross party commission to determine what Brexit actually means and what form of Brexit is actually in the interest of the people.

      It's easy, the British wanted Brexit to be done without causing a cost-of-living crisis. Well actually a good number of British didn't want Brexit, but would have wanted it to be done with if it was destined to happen anyways. These two make up a large majority of the population since while the remainders didn't want to leave, they didn't want to be in limbo. May could not get Brexit done without imploding the British economy. it was simply impossible to do unless some other country was willing to write a huge cheek to Britain and say "here's a gift, pay your next 3 decades of imports, it's on us." Her task was doomed to fail. Maybe she should have campaigned to be PM on cancelling Brexit? I don't know if she could have won the leadership election at all if she did, but at least she'd have an excuse to not go through with a doomed task. Likewise Cameroon could have admitted it was a non-binding advisory referendum, but he didn't feel comfortable implementing it, so he'd ignore the result. It would destroy his political career and credibility, but a decade later people would probably say it was the best response to a self-induced crisis. As long as May tried to get Brexit done, she was going to be seen as a disappointment.

The sacking of Boris, and the wet lettruss after shows this. An elected government is based on the main man/woman at the polls and the BS they always pledge. The fact that an incumbent government can oust a leader, leaving a power vacuum for months with a zombie PM waiting for his successor is bad enough in itself; to have the new successor voted in without a public ballot is the antithesis of democracy in my opinion. Powerful factions then get rid of Truss, again with no public ballot; and there is our government, powered by various factions vying for power as has been the case for at least 1000 years in Britain, but our government still thinks it's ok to trash talk 'less democratic countries'.

    She is decent, she is humble, she is a servant, she has her heart at the right place, she is a template for how the political industry could get more accepted and as much accepted to prevail safely.
    Disagreements in issues can not mean to not recognize a person's and a politician's qualities.
    The opposite.
    It means to find the best common solution which then likely is second to none.
    Politics is not about show and entertainment.
    Politics is about destilling the best out of incredible complex ingredients.
    What she is doing right now is honorable.
    But she could do more in coaching future generations of the people's representatives.
    Anyway - all honor!
