While appreciating your strong feelings about this, and agreeing with some of your adjectives, I would not call her a "fascist" nor use the word "fuehrer". There are limits! And she is not so much "blackmailing" as being blackmailed. By the hardliners and extremists in her own party, and the DUP.
Oh dear!... i must be reading the wrong newspapers
"Oh dear" indeed! Problem with sarcasm on a forum is, it usually isn't recognised as such. So was your earlier post meant to be sarcastic? Even so, not very helpful.
And where does that screenshot come from (other than Tw****r I mean)?

Sadly, i think these could be two very different things
I voted Peoples Vote anyway cos it could [ and should ] happen...
However, IMO the big problem is the persistently lying, cheating, blackmailing, fascist PM. I've studied all the past PMs since Robert Walpole, and none were worse than this present disgrace. The Tory Remainers need to grow some spine asap, sack their rogue Führer, and put someone in charge who takes a far more democratic direction -
JoJo would make a good caretaker PM for the interim
Godwin's Rule !!
As for Boris.....The reality that he was one of the biggest liars in the process, and has since run away from the process to distance himself from the debacle he was a prime mover in creating
I would like to vote for "none of the above", no idea at all what might happen, maybe we could try to learn from history, similar situations in the past
May I also claim that I do not care, because I have no influence?

Indeed. I am not a massive May fan, but given that her party managed to choose her as leader, they might at least have tried to get behind her during what's likely to be the hardest period of some of their careers. Yes, I know, Tories playing nice... I can dream, can't I?

And rather less helpfully, it completely misses out the People's Vote option...

I think it's telling you that for that to happen, the govt needs to propose it as the "course of action". Which is one of the reasons it's not seen as a likely outcome.

Meanwhile, as the politicians fiddle whilst Rome burns, businesses and people like me are tearing our hair out and banging our heads against walls because we have to make decisions we can't make until we know what the drattedwhatchamacallit is going to happen.
