SheungWan Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I don't know if the UK is going to leave or stay, but either way the ramifications are going to resonate and reverberate in the UK for at least a generation (I would guess longer). What will happen the day after the final decision, whatever that is, occurs? Is there going to be acceptance? Societal agreement? Inter-country harmony? Street riots? The beating of foreigners? No matter what happens, it will be of utmost importance that the UK, should it continue to exist, achieve a degree of social harmony and cohesion quickly in order to deal with the challenges ahead. And, the challenges ahead will be huge. Really huge. Are the UK's current political leaders capable of re-establishing political unity and social harmony? Sadly, it doesn't look that way to me. This is probably the most important news article I have seen in the last few years, and one that all players in the current debate should read carefully. Very carefully. Continued political volatility adds to potential negative risk re inward investment and downward pressure on Sterling. Continued disruption...might be worth looking at political stalemate in Belgium over a number of years and how it has played out.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF remain wins there will be an interesting GE in 2022 and I don't think L and LD are going to like the result. In such case Brexit is on the table again.

I doubt the current government will want to do that. No. It can only happen if it is supported by the majority in the house. The government doesn't have that majority, the opposition do. However, at the moment, I don't think the opposition have sufficient unity to get that bill through the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, there doesn't appear to be sufficient unity amongst the opposition to form a government. The stumbling block seems to be the choice of an interim !st minister. Corbyn is insisting that it's his right (technically true) but it will only be viable with someone more neutral in the seat. Personally, it think that the father of the house is perfect for that role but Corbyn needs to be sidelined first. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
