It is really sad to see the way Brexit is heading. There is no agreement in the cabinet, in Tory membership and parliamentarians, with the Brexiteers, ERG, DUP and Labour party. Theresa May is digging a hole deeper and deeper into a black hole of no return, instead of getting out of it. She has stubbornly stuck with her uncompromising withdrawal agreement, which has been already rejected 3 times by the parliament.
This agreement has passed its sell by date, yet she is still clinging to it. This Brexit imbroglio, lack of decision and extending the dates unnecessarily has caused acute frustration, anger, disappointment and deep divisions amongst the British people.
The Prime Minister, Theresa May, her cabinet, parliamentarians, and the political parties have miserably failed in resolving the Brexit issue and have badly let down the people of United Kingdom. They will not be forgiven for their incompetence and failure. There has been complete lack of preparation and preparedness by the government to tackle this issue in the two years given to it negotiate the agreement, which has landed us in this huge mess.
Theresa May’s only option now is to dismount from her high horse and agree for a soft Brexit and move on other important issues facing the country. If she is not prepared to do that and with all doors closed now, her withdrawal agreement rejected, failure of the parliament’s indicative vote, opposition of the hard core Brexiteers and of DUP.
The only way out for her is to go back to the people, who are now well aware of all the complexities and complications of Brexit negotiations. About which they did not know before nor were they told about it at the time of 2016 referendum. This time knowing all the facts, they will be able make an informed and correct decision for their and the future generations sake.
It is the responsibility of the government, all the political parties and other interested parties to give priority to the National interest first and not their own selfish interests.
