Maggie-May stated herself, in the run-up to the GE, that Its purpose was to achieve a large majority in order to 'strengthen her hand in the forthcoming Brexit negotiations, to ensure the best possible deal for the nation'. (I paraphrase there, but it's an accurate representation of the gist of her utterances).

So how can the fact that she failed to achieve that 'large majority' and, in fact, failed to achieve a majority at all be a "total irrelevance to the BrexShit negotiations"?

The idea of using 'quotations', whether using quote marks, or italic print (or both), is to quote the words actually used by another person.
Swapping Brex-shit for Brexit means that you are not actually quoting anyone.

Once you change even one word of a quote, it is no longer a quote, and people will start looking to see what other changes you may have made to 'quotes' in order to further your own argument.
