Anne Applebaum writes: It’s funny – but it’s also tragic, for May could have played all of this differently. When she took over last year, she could have recognized Brexit for the constitutional and political crisis it has turned out to be. She could have called for national unity to deal with this divisive issue. She could have appealed across party lines, or asked people what outcome they preferred, or sought compromise. Instead she stuck to her formula – “Hard Brexit,” tough-sounding language, “it’s all about immigration.” She kept her base – and lost everyone else. – Washington Post
