May doesn't have a majority, which is a problem - but the DUP allow her to form a government.
However, the DUP are siding with the ERG, so she can't get anything approved that the EU will accept.
If she started down a path that the EU would accept then the ERG+DUP would rebel.
Which is why she does nothing - won't engage, just talks about "ambitious divergence" or whatever the latest bollocks was that the EU ruled out before the cabinet even went into the board room.
It's not impossible that May would keep this up forever , if she could - and it's still possible that she might try this.
However, this would lead to a "naked Brexit", where we totally dissolve our economic relationship with the rest of the world without anything to replace it, and stand there proudly, economic cock shrivelling in the icy wind's of international trade as they roar past.
So things will come to a head around (at a guess) June, just after May takes a pummelling in the local elections and it becomes 100% clear to everyone that she can't go on.
At which point I think we may have a general election featuring Corbyn campaigning on a Leave platform and Hammond on Remain, just to really boggle the mind.
