RE: Brexit as suicide: The psychology of self-harm
Thank you, @lenskonig
I feel the drawn-out drawing is on account of a mild intervention from the UK's neighbours (the EU), metaphorically ringing on the doorbell at the last-minute and shouting through the letterbox, "Is everything ok in there?"
You can ring on the doorbell too (as I have done), if you feel like having a shot at convincing him not to step into the bathtub.

I am reminded, of course, of Nathalie Loiseau who told Le Journal du Dimanche that she has named her cat 'Brexit' because, “He wakes me up every morning meowing to death because he wants to go out, and then when I open the door he stays put, undecided, and then glares at me when I put him out."
Yes. But. May asked for the drawing out.. So... ?
Last minute nerves? I guess it's scary to suicide a whole country, no matter how decayed a person's heart.
As Luke says of Vader, "I know there is still good in him".
Perhaps May is in the process of remembering her own abuse as a child and will throw the Emperor (The British Royal Family) to its doom, down the ventilation chasm of the Death Star.
I think the May-requested-drawing-out is the scene where The Emperor fires relentless electricity at Luke. At this point, Vader begins to look like he's a-bit-unsure-of-the-whole-thing-now.
The idea of killing the whole country probably seemed 'a fresh new start', 'liberating' and 'larksome' during the whiteboard-brainstorms at Downing Street. But enacting destruction on this scale can often seem less appealing when the lightning bolts really start flowing and there's the smell of burning flesh in the air.
Vader didn't have the stomach for this brand of mindless violence in the end. Perhaps May doesn't either.
What do you feel?
Exactly.
