Trying to move from a good position to a best position and ending up worse off ; cf the old adage "The Best is the Enemy of the Good"
Theresa May is the UK Prime Minister whose Conservative Party had a a working majority in the UK Parliament . She tried to increase the size of that majority by calling an election on 8th June 2017. Although the largely Conservative Party supporting UK Press predicted a landslide victory she in fact ended up losing her overall majority the major oppostiion Party (Labour ) having gained 30 more seats than they held before the election. Theresa May has now lost her overall majority and is in a greatly weakened political position. Whence the expression "Doing a Theresa".
