Brexit nothing new

Looking increasingly likely United Kingdom leaves the European Union, automatically without any deal by October. Looking increasingly likely we don’t end up leaving at all by October. Leaving was never a single one off event more long series of events. Withdrawal agreement would be a point of no return. Shaping the future relationship it is the hardest possible exit. Decades worth of negotiations whatever option you pick. No real majority at the moment for the easy bit. Entering any relationship from an unstable point never a good start.

Leave supporters refusing to back the current withdrawal agreement. Demanding the government renegotiation over the backstop, other solutions could solve the problem. If you claim other solutions can negate the backstop why not support it? No real risk around the backstop surely?Simply put the solutions don’t exist, current agreement is going to shape the future relationship.

Deeply chaotic exit looks likely, UK politicians have rejected every option. Blaming others for their own mistakes. Remain backing MPs have fallen into line supporting the deal against their better judgment. Leave backing MPs have refused to fall into line but attacked everybody else. Whatever option happens leads to uncertainty, decades worth of negotiations ahead. No deal would spark a series of events to resolve problems around no deal.

Possible the UK ends up not leaving at all, Europeans hold all the cards. Process of article 50 was always flawed method to leave. Time is being wasted as politicians repeat the same mistakes. Reset button is required but even that may not work.
