Then why not trust May?
This is too easy.
If TM can get something through parliament that avoids the carnage then that is a better situation than crashing, but the root problems still remain and no-one has any plan to address them. So, the pissed off guys would get blue passports and still be pissed off.
It is actually tragic that we hatchet our leadership rather than support them, but that is a function of the non-inclusive policies run for decades and the dysfunction in the system.

It is. But we rely upon the elected representatives to familiarise themselves with the detail of the problems and there should be an effective communication back to their electorate so that they can make better informed decisions based upon a credible processing and evaluation of the issues at hand.
The average geyser is not going to be able to get his head round all of the issues and complexities of many things, and why should he ? Instead, in a properly functioning democracy, the representative should be able to provide an honest and accurate evaluation which the electorate can trust and vote accordingly. One problem we have is the emotive response on which votes are based as result of either falsehoods, misrepresentations, narrowing of subject matter, or biases in presentation from whoever controls different forms of media. We should be able to trust a representative to process an entirety and condense that to an honest, communicable appraisal that they can communicate to their electorate and to be able to trust that their decision in amending law and probing government is consistent with the best interest of their electorate in accordance with their >informed< wishes.
I think there is a critical issue of trust.
