This is why left/right are meaningless terms

Shell be on the 'right' for some things and more 'left leaning' for others.

whilst I dont think (historically) she has been particularly pro-Europe she isnt in the cut-your-nose-off camp. We would get a softer Brexit if she had more freedom to cut a deal with the EU on various things such as budget contrubutions. See for example the gnashing of teeth from IDS etc on the EU asking us to agree a financial settlement - paying ANYTHING is anethama to many in the Hard Brexit camp and her majority is too slim to be able to ignore them.
