Conservative party is hopelessly and utterly divided on Brexit, catastrophic split and in turmoil since Chequer’s plan was put in public domain, although the uncertainty, unrest and division emerged as soon as the referendum result was announced.
No wonder then PM David Cameron who initiated the referendum, the result was not what he expected, not to his liking, walked away, abandoning the sinking ship, in favour of pasture green, leaving poison chalice for his successor that happens to be Theresa May.
While PM’s opponents or rather opponent of her Chequer’s proposal, like Jacob Rees-Mogg, Boris Johnson, David Davis and many more wants to oppose her draft, calling it “As Dead as Dodo” or a suicide vest strapped around British constitution, they have failed to publish their own plan, an alternative document to justify their anti PM stance. While some of her opponents are genuine in their criticism, others may have their own personal agenda, ambition to move into No 10 Downing Street! Fishing in trouble waters has become a norm in British politics!
EU’s orchestrated ambush, skulduggery on helpless PM May, led by France, the country we liberated from the clutches of “Third Reich” may turn out to be a blessing in disguise, as practically the entire Conservative party, including their MPs supported her firm and fair stand and condemned EU’s spoilt child behaviour, led by unelected Brussels bureaucrats, particularly smug, obnoxious Donald Tusk who is a pawn in the hands of German Chancellor Angelle Mercer and in particular French President Emmanuel Macron who was labelled a complete prat, behaving like Louis XIV in many national newspapers.
PM May’s ultimatum, threat to walk away, may not perturb EU, as she has “Cried Wolf” from day one and no one in EU takes her seriously when so many British politicians, academics, economists and even Governor of Bank of England predicts doom and gloom outside EU, with mass unemployment, negative growth and economy in meltdown for at least a decade. This is in spite of our huge balance of trade deficit of some £86 billion in EU’s favour, with German cars chocking our roads.
Some economists predict that if Britain leaves EU without agreement, it will have more adverse effect, more job-losses in EU rather than here. If our docile, unpatriotic, egoist politicians show fighting spirit of WW2, courage to call EU bluff, makes UK an off-shore tax heaven, give subsidy to our industries and agriculture by abolishing overseas aid budget, than we may triumph even in adversity.
