Brexit
There has been an interesting development on the other side of “the pond” which is the English way of referring to the Atlantic Ocean. For more than two years the British government under Theresa May had been trying to come up with a plan to exit the European Union (EU). Most of this action under Theresa May appears to have been a stalling action. The pols hoped that at some point the British would lose interest and the fact that the voting population had spoken out in favor of leaving the EU would disappear into history.
The fact that the Brits had voted for Brexit was as surprising as PDJT winning the Presidency here. The polls had all shown that Brexit would go down to defeat. Supposedly there was little chance it would pass. The polls were wrong again.
Stalling eventually cost Theresa May her job. The people were not happy that the UK was still in the EU. Boris Johnson’s Party achieved a majority around the idea that he would complete the process including, if needed, a “no-deal” Brexit.
