Brexit symptom of UK's political power struggle

Editor's note: UK Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plan was vetoed in the House of Commons on Tuesday, with the largest vote against in Britain's political history. Later, May managed to just survive a vote of a no-confidence. Yin Zhiguang, a columnist for Guancha.cn, comments in a post:

The fruitless party bickering over Brexit has long been irrelevant to that process; it is merely a disguise for the party conflict in the United Kingdom.

In fact, the moment when the referendum result was released on June 24, 2016 - when then prime minister David Cameron resigned and the almost unknown May succeeded him as both the head of government and the Conservative Party - marked the commencement of a new round of party politics, as the abnormal power handover reflected the split in the ruling party.
