Why is Teresa May getting all this hate and why does the uk wanna leave the EU so badly?
In:
The Britons who **want to leave the EU** have been told that leaving would give them lower costs, fewer immigrants, and the same sort of government services. To deliver on this promise, **anyone** will have to get the EU to agree. Alas, the EU has absolutely no reason to want to agree to this. Ms. May spent many months defining an agreement the EU **is willing to approve**, and has failed 4+ times to get the UK Parliament to agree to it. She is giving up. People are mad at her for failing.
The real problem is that the people who made the promise, the **Leave** people, made a promise that nobody believes can be delivered upon. **Leave** promised that the EU would agree to the UK’s proposed terms, and this is simply never going to happen.
Why do I say “never”? There is a special problem, Northern Ireland. NI is on the same island as Ireland, an EU member. In NI is “out” and Ireland is “in”, then there must be a controlled border between them. Alas, for many years, when there was such a border, it was a **disaster for the island**. The **Leave** people claimed: a) there would be no hard border between NI and Ireland; and b) NI could remain part of the UK. These two things are mutually exclusive, unless the UK somehow forces Ireland to leave the EU also. The Brits forcing the Irish to do things is the root cause of too many Troubles for that to be seriously considered.
TL;DR. The **Leave** people sold a lie to the UK voters, and May is in trouble because she was in charge when they got caught.
