Yet another government minister has tendered his resignation over Brexit last week. This brings the number of resignations to eight so far. Those who resigned perhaps feel that a better deal could have been negotiated. As a consequence, Theresa May’s government has been hit by a wave of these resignations.
One after the other minister is either resigning or is being sacked. In the wake of the resignation of the most high profile person, the Brexit secretary, Dominic Raab, many more have followed suit. The PM herself has indicated that she too will step down after the negotiations are complete.
So Brexit is taking its toll.There are also talks of second referendum. This may be mere speculation, but if there were to be a second referendum on our exit from the EU, would Britain vote to remain in the EU? With the passage of time and with hindsight, and the negotiations which have taken place so far, we are now much wiser than we were a couple of years ago when Britain decided by 51 to 49 votes to come out of the EU.
It transpires that we have much to lose and llittle to gain by coming out of the strong and powerful organisation like the European Union. Many financial institutions have already made advanced plans to move their headquarters from Britain to France and Luxembourg. If the first referendum was a little hasty decision, is there a case for second referendum?
