Hardliners in the party do not have a plan. >> you are seeing a revolt within her own party, and if she survives that theres a question of whether or not her government could survive. the people i talk to in the uk, as we are watching this, the part of it that is bleak is that nobody sees a path. there isnt much of a clear path out of this that can get a majority support. theres no brexit deal that can get a majority support, and theres a no deal that cant get the majority support, and theres ju...
