In her speech to the Tory Party conference in Autumn , Theresa May sounded almost like a leader of the Labour Party in her promises to help the "Jams" those who are Just-About-Managing to get by in life ; yet on Brexit, her rhetoric has been that of strident nationalism. In a move to appease the hard-liners in her party, and much to the alarm of the Conservative centre, she pledged not only to take the UK out of the EU, but also out of the Single European Market, the free trade area that extends beyond the EU.
As from June 9th , May had to depend for support on an agreement not a coalition with "friends and allies" in the right-wing protestant Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, to form a government. This was a marriage of convenience which failed to give May the success she was hoping for.
She resigned in after her Brexit agreement, carefully negotiated with the EU, was rejected three times in the House of Commons.
New - With no policies other than to call for a 'hard" Brexit, the BP nevertheless immediately became the UKs most popular political party in terms of voting intentions for the European Elections. As a result, the Brexit Party did better in the EU elections than any other party, and secured more of the UK's seats in the European Parliament than any other party.

In spite of being the only one of the three major parties that was committed to opposing Brexit, and in spite of gaining 60, new members in the Lib-Dems continued to show very poorly in opinion polls compared to Conservatives or Labour. As the only party that has been clearly and consistently opposed to Brexit, the Liberal Democrats staged a strong comeback. In the European Parliamentary Elections, they came second, beating both the Conservatives and Labour. They then increased their representation in Parliament in August by retaking the Brecon and Randnorshire seat from the Conservatives in a by-election.
Later in the year, it increased its parliamentary presence to 19, as sitting MPs from both the Conservatives and Labour, in progound disagreement with their parties over Brexit, defected to the Lib Dems. The first temporal vantage point is the mid-twentieth century, permitting the reconstruction of earlier tendencies that crystallised into new labour policies in many parts of the world at that time. Indian trajectories since the s are also reminiscent of broader trends: while informalization processes enjoy political backing, new social policies define social citizen rights rather than employment relationships.
These trajectories also coincide and are bound up with the trajectories of postcolonial Indian democracy, historical examination of which coincides with the concerns of TM 3: Critiques and Renewals of Democracy. Since the election, she has been candid and forthright in her criticisms of the current leader. Not unduly weighed down by ideological baggage she has shown herself to be a politician of considerable acumen, tenacity and drive, but is not universally trusted.

Not all principles, laws, political parties or media outlets can be neatly classified as left or right wing, as most will include elements of both.
Likewise, individual people, even those who describe themselves as being left-wing or right-wing, will often support one or two principles from the other side of the spectrum. This is a good thing - by avoiding strict labels when it comes to our political identity and remaining open-minded, we can avoid having an over-simplified outlook and judge political parties and their policies on their own merit.
