May is keeping her friends close and enemies closer, tbh. She's put Johnson, Davis and Hammond, people who want the Brexit in charge of Brexiting. So if they can't make it work, it's all on them (especially since we have no trade ministers because they got retired when we folded into the EU). So they have it all to do, and trying to have their cake and eat it the same time. Good luck to us.
If nothing else, Cameron and Osborne are gone. Cameron was high on his own dick, and Osborne seemed to be a sociopath, I swear. People were supposedly committing suicide because they were getting their benefits cut off (the government refuses to release reports to get to the bottom of the claims), and a LOT of people who voted to leave the EU did it because Osborne threatened MORE social cuts if we did.
But if you're already at a food bank (cities up North) and looking at committing suicide, and child poverty has increased to the point where the UN is actually chastising the government, what's the concept EU to you? Especially since there seems to be a class war in terms of the Tories wanting to obliterate you (in terms of driving you to suicide). So Osborne blinked and they didn't and here we are.
That being said, May has some strange people to various ministries though. Andrea Leadsom thinks that men shouldn't work with children because they are more likely to be pedophiles (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/andrea-leadsom-men-paedophiles-childcare-workers-hired-sensible-a7139351.html), and she's a climate change denier, joy. She's also making noise about subsidiaries to farming (a lot of farmers voted to stay in the EU because of that).
There's another woman who's head of International Aid - Priti Patel - but she doesn't believe in it (and International Aid was a pet project of Cameron's) so I would imagine that being cut.
So yeah, Mrs May has a LOT on her plate. But Labour (our opposition) is imploding, so good luck in calling a snap election if they can't even get sort out their leader.
I knew the Conservatives were right wing (most of the brexiters) but I didn't realise how knuckle dragging backwards in thought they are. You get the feeling they'd ban abortion ala the American right if they could.
