Resigned Gone by June 7th About time. Pretty much whatever your political views May's destined to go down as one of our worst leaders in history.

20+ points to this, and Theresa May had the advantage of knowing there was going to be election while Corbyn did not.

All of the issues you speak of regarding the EU giving the UK a hard time in terms of trading with the EU would certainly hurt the UK. However, they would hurt the EU even more. So, again, I ask why would they do this? It makes no game theoretical sense. I think it's a mistake to view it as people ...

What is "harm" in your opinion? Calling it "harm" is just a weasel word. Basically the economy will not perform as well as it would remaining in, Won't it? How would it perform if we stayed in? These calculations are basically difference calculations - run the same model with on...
