Currently Brexit is dominating over other important issues of health, education, crime, austerity and economy. It has become a farce and in the eyes of world a joke. How come the issue is still hanging on after having 2 years’ time, the British Government has not satisfactorily resolved this serious issue. It has become worse than a dog’s breakfast.
The hard-line Brexiteers are hell bent to hit the buffers and are heading for a ‘no deal’ Brexit which will be in their own selfish ideological interest and not the national interest. They are treading on dangerous ground not knowing what the disastrous outcome the nation will face. DUP of Northern Ireland were paid $1 billion to keep Theresa May in power, now they have turned against her. So it is only right that DUP pays back £1billion to the British government to which they were not entitled to, in the first place.
Presently there are only 3 options left: 1. To accept the deal. 2. People’s vote on the deal. 3. General election. Anything apart from these options will lead the country into the abyss, damaging jobs, economy, workers’ rights and security. Eyes of the British people has now been opened because the true situation was hidden from them when the referendum took place in 2016. They have seen the fiasco of the Brexit negotiations done by the incompetent Brexit secretaries and the Government. It is time to take the interest of the people and the nation as the top priority and not just of the few people’s vested interests. At this state, removing Theresa May as prime minister will not solve the Brexit problem but will make it much worse. It is better to deal with "better the devil you know than the devil you don't".
