May's Conservative Party does not have a majority in parliament and is only able to govern thanks to a deal with 10 lawmakers from the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party.
The resignations mean that May's position in parliament has been weakened even further, at a time when she needs to be able to win a crucial vote approving whatever Brexit deal she is able to strike with the EU.
There are now 313 active Conservative lawmakers in the 650-seat parliament. With the DUP support this means May now has a working majority of 7 seats, down from 13. This is calculated based on the fact that some lawmakers do not take up their seats, and others act as neutral speakers.
Do yourself a favour and flush it down the drain

Well nothing would be a better example to the lemmings that democracy is a lie than another perfect example of direct democracy being overturned at the whim of the oligarchy.

I think brit lemmings are so far gone that even if brexit is rejected they will still believe in demuhcracy. Perhaps at least it could radicalize the right wing and change some minds.

Lemmings don't respond to arguments, they respond to incentives.

>Thinks Britain just can leave the (((EU))) empire
Funny one m8. They'll most likely keep this up until May is gone and the next worse fucker just so happens to leave Brexit and reaffirms Britain's """love""" of the EU. Just in time for you poor Bongs to get fucked with the rest of Europe by the new copyright laws.

Vote for it, despite everything, despite all the money and propaganda thrown at the country, still vote for it… and get nothing.
This is why there will be blood flowing in the streets.
