But in these negotiations, the Tory party is acting in the interests of the Tory party, not of the country.

The whole point of her misguidedly calling the election was to get a big enough majority to see off her hawks in order to give her a clear run through brexit (more Tory party self-interest there of course).


The Tory party (much as you may dislike them) are acting in the interests of the UK. They are also acting to keep themselves in power, not only for their self-interest, but also because they do not believe it would be in the interests of this country to risk putting Jeremy Corbyn in charge of the negotiations.
In this the interests of the Tory Party & the UK run in parallel. (in my view)
