Brexit: I have been asked multiple times 'what will happen?' I only know that I know nothing' has been my reply.

The date was going to be March 29th, 2019. Then, suddenly it became April 12th, 2019 or May 22nd 2019 depending on certain conditions. Now, we stand 5 days away  and hours away from April 12th, 2019 since no deal has been agreed. On Monday, the House of Commons - if weather allow it, since just days ago the sitting had to be suspended because water was pouring through the ceiling of the main Debating Chamber - will once again talk about the possible stages.

In the meantime, the internal struggle within the so called main political parties - Conservative and Labour - continues and there is always the possibility of more defectors leaving both Conservative and Labour due to disagreements. In essence, by Friday, April 12th, 2019, without any agreement there will be two options left: to leave without a deal or to cancel Brexit if no postponement is agreed with the European Union.

Having said, the political environment has become ever more fluid with issues involving accusations regarding Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia that are affecting the way politics in Britain works. Even when we are talking about national issues there is a geopolitical agenda that is constantly distorting what should be merely national issues.

What has become self-evident is that so mainstream political parties will be affected by the comings and goings linked to Brexit, Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia that high levels of lack of trust in Democracy in the United Kingdom.

On May 2nd 2019 there will be Local Elections. Somebody suggested that given the probabilities regarding a General Election and an European Election the country should prepare to hold three set of elections of May 23rd 2019. This means that legislation should be passed to provide funding for three different sets of elections.
