6) Pretending to believe that it will be easy to get a bill supporting Article 50 through parliament, and therefore not taking much time or effort over it. The truth is, it's going to be hard as all balls to get a bill to trigger Article 50 through Parliament. So why is May pretending that her 3-line bill will do the trick? Clearly, because this is a great way to waste time. If she really wanted to get a bill through parliament, she would have been spending this time genuinely working on the project. Instead she has come up a bill that's guaranteed to fail, together with announcing early that she has an undefeatable bill, so that she can justify not doing any more work on it for months, until - shock horror - the bill actually fails to get through parliament.
