People are fed up to back teeth with Brexit
THE Brexit mess is getting messier. PM Boris Johnson and his ERG gang are saying by leaving the European Union there will be pain in the short and medium term but gain in the long term.
Whereas the opposition parties are saying if Brexit is reversed or amended as they want, there will gain both in short and medium term plus stability in the long term.
The problem is that there is split both in the Tory party between Boris Johnson and his hard left supporters and the moderate one nation Tories. On the other hand there is split in the Labour party between Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters and the Labour parliamentary members.
The mother of parliaments has now become the step-mother of parliaments with political parties in the house of commons fighting like cats and dogs.
Foul and insulting language is used, which was not heard before in this august house. The Archbishop of Canterbury has taken Prime Minister Boris Johnson to task for his use of “inflammatory” language through the Brexit debate.
Justin Welby told The Sunday Times there was a risk of pouring ‘petrol’ on the country’s divisions on the issue of Britain’s departure from the European Union.
The archbishop said Mr Johnson had come to symbolise a climate in which Britain had become consumed by “an abusive and binary approach to political decisions”, and where those with opposing views treated each other as “total” enemies.
They are going down the slippery road and it is becoming a laughing stock in the world. The matter can be resolved by all parties sitting together and hammering out a compromise on the basis of give and take with no red lines involved.
‘No deal’ Brexit should not be accepted, as this will cause irreparable damage to the economy and jobs. They will have to get out of this dog in manger attitude.
The patience and tolerance of the British people has come to a breaking point. They are fed up to their back teeth with the time consuming shenanigans going on to sort out the Brexit issue. It has been sheer waste of time for over three years of futile negotiations with EU with nothing to show.
It looks like the deadlock on Brexit is going to be permanent, even if we have the general election because the most likely result will be a hung parliament and again a continuation of bickering.
Under the circumstance the best way forward would be to have a People’s Vote with the choice of remaining in the EU or accepting Boris Johnson’s withdrawal agreement. Otherwise we will be going in circles all the time around Brexit and fail to address more important issues facing the country at this crucial time. Baldev Sharma
