May has only a wafer-thin Parliamentary majority. This allows the remnants of John Major's 'b4st4rds', (Career-long brexitters, Cash, Redwood, IDS possibly others who are even less memorable), plus recent opportunists, (Gove), to wield disproportionate negative power in the forlorn Brexit debate.
Interesting, so May also trying to make herself less vulnerable to those?

May has only a wafer-thin Parliamentary majority. This allows the remnants of John Major's 'b4st4rds', (Career-long brexitters, Cash, Redwood, IDS possibly others who are even less memorable), plus recent opportunists, (Gove), to wield disproportionate negative power in the forlorn Brexit debate. (Witness Gove et al walking out of the Parliamentary committee on Brexit that dared to suggest that there could be negative outcomes from leaving the EU).
None of these wreckers, (that I recognise), have ever been employed in the productive part of the economy and have no concept of the benefits of the Customs Union or pan-EU harmonisation of standards. They fail to understand what will happen to the UK economy if in March 2019 we 'just walk away' with WTO as a fallback position.
I have no idea what Tory Central Office have been doing to vet their parliamentary candidates, but May must be hoping to return to Westminster with a majority to vote through some strategic compromises despite the 'referendum b4st4rds'.
Of course the simplest route would have been for John Major, [after his hissy fit resignation as Leader of the Conservative Party, dubiously remaining as PM, and defeating the ludicrous Redwood], to have expelled the b4st4rds to make them stand as explicit early ukippers, where they could have dissipated their time in the poltical wastelands of lost deposits. Neil Kinnock had the strength to expel Militant.
The Tory party sees no problem with its spectrum of support including British Nationalists and overt racists.
