They have a different form of democracy there and because of that the liberals/labor have found a way to not only convince some conservatives to join them but enough of them to put the brakes on a stubborn conservative effort to force a "no deal" brexit. All of this brexit nonsense came about because the electorate there was lied to often enough to convince them that leaving the EU was a smart decision. Yet now that the truth of things have come out the smart has disappeared being replaced with " oh golly what have we done?" Undoing this mess will take leadership from other parties not conservative. So as the ebb and flow of this is about to find it's home we will see what happens to brexit or if it becomes bremain!
I have been a staunch supporter of bremain and although it seemed I was one of only a few who remained vocally adamant it appears now that a bremain option is not just spitting into the wind. We will see but what makes me somewhat satisfied is that the obstruction to staying is becoming less and less an obstacle. Give the European Union lots of credit for sticking to their negotiated stance and not rewarding the conservatives demanding to leave with advantages and privileges beyond their due. Also give the British parliament credit as well for not falling for any of the rubbish lies the may and johnson administrations were peddling as scare tactics.
A new referendum on brexit/bremain is the only path forward and sticking to that tired and false argument that this decision to leave has already been decided is crap as well. The first vote was based upon falsehoods, kind of like what happened here in America with the trump appointment. Bringing about a new vote to stay or go now would be correct in that the facts are now knowable as to the effect an exit would have as opposed to what a remain will continue to offer. In my mind there is no real choice here other than to remain. A stronger and more cohesive European Union can accomplish much more than a wounded European Union and an isolated British nation ripe for an American privatization of British society.
