Theresa May Loses Voice, Vote and Possibly Job

Friedrich Nietzsche would have loved Theresa May: At yet another critical Brexit moment, she yet again lost her voice, and yet again lost a key vote. Eternal recurrence, indeed.

With the U.K.’s deadline for leaving the EU just 17 days away, May has been scrambling to find a more palatable Brexit deal than the one Parliament smacked down by an historic margin in January. She failed. Even her throat was unconvinced, quitting on her as she made her case in Parliament, which again overwhelmingly rejected her latest effort. Her delays have accomplished nothing but pushing the U.K. to the brink of disaster, Bloomberg’s editorial board writes. And now it’s time to move the Brexit deadline and plan a second referendum that will hopefully bring more clarity, and maybe even a chance to end this foolishness, the editors write.
