The slow motion resignation of long-since powerless British Prime Minister Theresa May, who is embarrassingly clinging to office until after President Trump’s state visit, is "interesting" in both senses of the Chinese sage. May’s unlamented departure is "interesting" (good) because it is a direct result of the humiliation inflicted by Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party on the Conservative and Labour parties for failing to deliver Brexit. It is "interesting" (bad) because it is deliberately slow.
This is a time of remarkable records. The departure of the worst prime minister Britain has ever had — worse even than Lord North, who absent-mindedly lost the North American colonies — is the direct result of the rise of Britain's fastest-ever recruiting new party. Farage’s Brexit Party only came into existence when May failed to leave the European Union as law prescribed on March 29. Authentic Great Britain, where I live, outside the metro hubs, blew a collective gasket. I have never, ever witnessed such anger and contempt. The European Parliament election results, an election we should never have had to hold, trumpeted it loud and clear. The clever electorate used it as a confirmatory referendum.
Netted out in percentages and seats, the results pretty much replicate 2016, with "leave" beating "remain." Nothing has changed.
Not yet two months old, and as its elevator goes up with 29 seats, the Brexit Party is now the largest single national party in the European Parliament, passing German Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU as her elevator plummets down.
The delay in May's departure is bad because it gives time for the "remainiac" ministers and officials who have worked ceaselessly to overturn the will of the people, led by the chancellor of the exchequer and May's closest advisers, to plan and effect their transfer to a new host.
