With Theresa May‘s government likely to make a disasterous mess of Brexit, the chances of a Far Left governmnt in the UK are very probable.

On top of the Brexit fallout, a Far Left Labour government would trigger enormous economic uncertainty both at the personal and corporate level.

Any thoughts on how UK politics became so polarized?

It seems that parliament can intervene and stop Brexit in the national interest.

If we work on the assumption that there is clear legal advice recommending that Brexit can be reversed by parliamentary decision, then the position of both Theresa May’s government and Jeremy Corbyn‘s opposition is shameful. Both are trying to to deceive the public for their own political ends.

The evidence that Brexit will be a disaster is overwhelming, as May’s government hurtles towards the hardest of Brexit’s.

Thoughts?
