No matter
how engaged you are with politics there's always something that'll
blindside you, especially in a governmental system as old as ours.
You see, the
way popular culture has always portrayed cabinet reshuffles is as
basically the most dictatorial thing a prime minister can do. You
watch the likes of Yes, Minister
or The Thick of It and
whenever the mere possibility of a reshuffle comes up everyone's
scrabbling for favour, seeking out the slightest rumour of who's
going up or down or not moving at all.
At
no point has anyone told me a minister can just refuse to be moved
and yet a good portion of the government reacted to Theresa May's
(the prime minister, not the pornstar) decision with a resolute
“Nope. I'm happy here, I live here now.”
So,
yeah, that's the strong and stable leadership this country is
counting on to get us a good deal on Brexit: a prime minister who
can't even tell her ministers what job they're meant to be doing.
At
this point a vote of no confidence would be a mercy to the woman.
