British Prime Minister Theresa May was hailed as a steadying influence when she took over a country deeply divided by the EU referendum, but six months later she is facing widespread criticism for her apparent Brexit indecision.<br/><br/>The Conservative leader's refusal to outline a detailed strategy for negotiating Britain's future ties with the European Union has only deepened suspicions among politicians of all stripes that she does not have a grand plan, but the British public still appear to have faith in their leader.<br/><br/>May, the daughter of an Anglican vicar, entered Downing Street on July 13, promising stability after a tumultuous few weeks following Britain's shock vote to end its four-decade membership of the EU.<br/><br/>The prime minister on Sunday attempted to relaunch her vision of a "shared society" that her government would "deliver real social reform across every layer of society," although did not outline any policies.<br/><br/>A similar reluctance to spell out her Brexit proposals has frustrated MPs on both sides. May insisted yesterday that she wants to tackle immigration and take "control over our borders", but has also said she would like access to the single market – two things that European leaders have said are incompatible.
