I've got the greatest respect for Theresa May.
Being in Opposition or on the campaign trail is relatively easy. You point out problems with high level and broad thinking. You propose solutions have enough detail to be credible but not enough detail to be, well, detailed and later used against you. Overall it's a pretty sweet deal for those politicians.
You see, with most societal problems there's not any easy answers. There's always reasons why the seemingly obvious and "fairest" solutions are unfeasible or impossible. The air of the Opposition is clean and intellectual while the air if Government is in the dark recesses of details and agendas.
Theresa May wasn't some naive first timer here - she fully understood what the reality of implementing policy and making no win decisions looked like. And she also understood that Brexit was happening and that she was going to be despised in the present and future pretty much no matter what she did.
Yet she took on the job anyway, when others balked at the task and knew how it would damage them personally.
I've a lot of respect for that type of self sacrificing leadership.
