Theresa May resigns — and not a minute too soon

British Prime Minister Theresa May has announced that she will be resigning June 7. About time.

She has been a disastrous failure, failing to produce the withdrawal from the European Union that British voters demanded in their June 2016 referendum. She has driven her Conservative Party, the second oldest political party in the world (by my reckoning and that of the British historian Robert Blake), down to single-digit support in public opinion polls.
