Britain's Future hangs from a thread
With the arrival of Britain's chief negotiator for talks with his EU counterpart, everything is for the taking/losing.
EU authorities asked all remaining members of the European Union to prepare for No Deal while in Britain whatever was agreed at Checkers by the Conservative Party Cabinet is a poison chalice that has created cross party political anger for various reasons and put the survival of Theresa May into question. From both sides of the political divide concerning the EU, so called White Paper is seen as an act of treason that puts Britain in the middle of road and ready to be crashed by passing traffic.
The country has been undoubtedly divided but we are now entering a cycle of polarisation that could have extremely serious consequences including widespread violence. Trying to please everybody, the British Prime Minister has put her neck on the chopping block and leadership is badly needed to get Britain out of the present and very serious predicament.
Should Theresa May fall, the Conservative Party would still lack an absolute majority in Parliament and it could mean that even with the votes of the Democratic Unionist Party there wouldn't be enough seats to allow the Conservative Party to rule without being a minority government because depending on who succeeds Theresa May there will be Conservative MPs that would walk away. Not for the first time the ruling Conservative Party has been divided about how to deal with the European Union.
As it has been said over and over again, the country must be ready for No Deal and all government departments have been asked to make preparations for No Deal but, as things stand at the moment, the country must also prepare for the possibility of a General Election in the autumn. But even if there was a General Election, such General Election is not expected to provide a new political balance as both Conservatives and Labour face their own internal divisions.
