Lies and truth

Liars told the British that they would be well off after the divorce.
Liars told the British that the EU locked the UK in a prison of regulations.
Liars told the British that they were in danger of being invaded by strangers.

The UK joined the EU because to develop its economy. And it did.
The UK opposition to EU laws has been limited to 2% since the very beginning.
Foreigners bring their knowledge and workforce to the UK.

Liars tell that a new referendum would betray democracy : how could a ballot be an outrage to democracy ?

The lies are known, nowadays. And it could be interesting to see what citizens have to say when they are confronted to reality.

The truth is that a second referendum would challenge democracy. Because nobody could forecast its result.

Disunited Kingdom

Tories seem to realize at this time that the Brexit may end with their country. Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish are not keen to stay with people dreaming of a past grandeur. Anger between members of the family could raise and that ends up in violence, usually.

Who will be the next PM ? Nothing can be forecasted, since both applicants should realize soon that there is no way out of the deadlock. Thus, they should try to be defeated. Because it’s easier to talk than to act.

I guess that the no-deal is not an option : I can’t see how the MPs could allow that. Will Theresa May withdrawal deal be considered again ? I doubt it since it will not free the UK of the EU. The backstop is only an example of that. The truth is that the UK would become a minor member of the EU, suposed to respect its rules, without having the ability to take part to the definition of those rules.

Thus, Johnson or Hunt should stop the Brexit. The only choice they should have is linked to the way to perform that. If they we courageous, they would revoke article 50. Otherwise, and that’s probably what will happen, they could launch a second referendum. The major problem of that option is that the answer could be the Brexit again. Anyway, nor Johnson nor Hunt want to be the PM having to perform exactly the contrary of what they said they would do. From now on, they should try to avoid to be elected. This should be a lot of fun.

Thanks to the UK, we have an offbeat comedy-drama written every day. And the best is still to come !
