Governments and Minister that lie to their electorate – as e,g, the Liberal Democrats in the guise of Clegg making election promises that he did not keep over University fees (like May and many of her Remainer Cabinet lied over Brexit) loose support, and MPs.
In the 2015 election the number of LD MPs declined from 57 to only 8 MPs. In the 2017 election, that became 12 MPs.
So 305/7 =?

" This rule undermines meaningful negotiations. Negotiators focus on the end date and conclude that the other side has no incentive to reveal its hand before then. Whether the allotted negotiation period is two months, two years, or two decades, the result is the same: the stronger side (the European Commission in Brussels in this case) has an incentive to run down the clock and make no significant compromises before the eleventh hour.."
Furthermore "Any resetting of the clock would simply extend the paralysis, not speed up convergence toward a good agreement. Giving May another three months, or even three years, would do nothing to create incentives to reveal hidden preferences or to drop fictitious red lines."
