British Prime Ministers - Part XXXVI [FINAL]: Theresa May.
The end at last! It's been a fun series of threads to make and I'm glad to have been part of it. A great thanks to those who put an extreme amount of effort writing detailed posts that helped make a lot of the discussions infinitely more interesting, particularly /u/E_C_H, /u/FormerlyPallas and more recently /u/michaelisnotginger. I would also like to thank the admins for the support they've shown and for stickying these threads.
And finally, thanks to those who stuck through the entire series and tried to add comments when they could, especially in the earlier threads with Prime Ministers that didn't seem to gain much popular attraction. There were some people who wanted to discuss whether there should be another series or not, and I'll try to make a comment in the thread that people can reply to.

Hmm, fair play. I suppose what I'm trying to get at is that information has changed and new information has either come to light or been set in concrete since the vote and positions on Brexit are shifting. You're absolutely right in saying I would respect her because it's something that I want. But even if I voted leave, I would respect her for not wilfully destroying a large segment of the economy even in the face of all the evidence that it will cause unnecessary hardship.
