Campaign: Scottish Nationalists and Minister Theresa

campaign: The disunited kingdom on display is divided among English and Scottish nationalists, young and old, migrants and natives, London and the rest, and is deeply unsure of its political and economic future, according to Hamilton Spectator. It's also enduring a terrorist campaign of a frequency and scale not seen for decades, with two attacks in London, a deadlier one in Manchester and five foiled plots in less than three months. Instead, the campaign has exposed a very different Britain for Prime Minister Theresa May, whatever the result of Thursday's vote. Even if May should secure the landslide for her Conservatives suggested in opinion polls when she decided to call the election, she will govern a country that agrees on little while facing an unprecedented array of hard choices. And yet it is busy pretending that challenge does not exist. From trade, tax and debt to immigration and security policy, they come with the U.K. adrift between an estranged EU and unpredictable U.S. The country is facing an existential challenge of the kind it faced in 1940, when confidence collapsed in the government to lead the nation in the Second World War and Winston Churchill took over, said Hugh Pemberton, a historian of contemporary Britain at Bristol University.
