The whole Brexit fiasco is a minefield and it's much more difficult that you armchair critics realise.
Some key points:
1) British MP's are divided - some want to stay in the EU, some want a better exit deal, some want no deal. And some don't know what they want. All of these voted no to the deal Ms May put before them.
2) The political parties are divided, with only some of the very minor ones (who are irrelevant to the whole thing) having a clear party position on Brexit.
3) The main opposition leader, Jeremy Corbyn is essentially your equivalent of Bill Shorten, a big loud mouth who naysays everything but has no ideas of his own and is unable to discuss constructively.
4) The EU is hell-bent on the Irish border backstop. This would mean Northern Ireland staying in the EU customs union - and so the customs border would be drawn down the middle of the Irish Sea! Naturally, Ms May feels that threatens the UK's sovereignty.
These are just some of the challenges Ms May has to navigate around Brexit. Now, remind me which one of you thinks they can do better?
