Brexit approaching cliff’s edge

It is very disheartening to see there are still divisions within the major political parties regarding no deal Brexit as propounded by PM Boris Johnson and his gang of merry men and women. Furthermore there are divisions within divisions. It is like the road to hell is paved with good intentions but heading towards disaster. The leavers and remainers know what they want but do not know how to get it. They are running around like headless chickens.

As far as Boris Johnson aka ‘Britain Trump’ is like a bull in a china shop, trying to brow beat the EU into changing the withdrawal agreement which is not possible to do within a short space of 2 months. A deadlock has been reached and neither the British parliament will allow a no deal Brexit and nor would agree to change the withdrawal agreement. Therefore the only way out is to have a general election in the autumn to sort out the matter for once and for all.

Otherwise these bickering will continue causing uncertainty in the business community, thereby damaging the economy of the country, causing more disunity and polarisation of the British people. The Brexit campaign is funded by the hedge funds and some bankers, committed to protecting the vested interests of the richest and the elites, while posing as anti-establishment. This finger pointing has to stop especially among the opposition parties, they have to close ranks and stand united to put a stop to no deal Brexit, otherwise they will let it happen by default.

After wasting 3 years of negotiations with the EU, public is fed-up up to their back teeth with this unnecessary Brexit arguments and lack of any progress made so far. The Brexit campaign is funded by the hedge funds and some bankers, committed to protecting the vested interests of the richest and the elites, while posing as anti-establishment. So the only way out is to have a general election to resolve this issue which is a better solution than having a second referendum. There is no more time to waste but to take right and constitutional action now.
