From Breakingviews: Theresa May’s replacement will face same Brexit dilemma says peter_tl

May’s short term in office will be remembered for many mistakes. Her dogmatic interpretation of the Brexit referendum result – particularly the insistence on ending free movement for EU workers – ruled out softer options. She triggered the two-year timetable for leaving the EU in 2017 before reaching a workable consensus. A calamitous election campaign then wiped out her parliamentary majority.
Yet a leader such as Boris Johnson, the former foreign minister who is the runaway favourite to succeed May, will face many of the same restraints. The chances that he or another prime minister can extract more favourable terms from the remaining 27 EU members are close to zero. The best he or she can probably hope for is another extension beyond the current deadline of October 31.
