News and commentary: progress in work
On Friday, January 31, at 11 p.m. local time, the U.K. will at long last leave the European Union. Brexiteers will celebrate all across the country, with a big event sponsored by Leave Means Leave organization in London’s Parliament Square from 9 p.m. to 11:15 pm.
Now that both the House of Commons and the House of Lords approved the necessary enabling legislation, the U.K. will formally exit the European Union on January 31 at 11 p.m. local time at long last.
It remains to be seen after all this time if Brexit in the U.K. will actually result in a clearn break from European Union regulatory entanglements. A Megxit deal has been quickly struck, however, according to two carefully crafted, conciliatory statements from Queen Elizabeth and Buckingham Palace today. This development is a follow-up to a family meeting that occurred on Monday.
Within days of Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party winning a “stonking” majority, as the British say, in the December 12 U.K. elections, the successful candidates were sworn in as members of parliament (MPs). There is no two-month gap like in the U.S. Congress. Johnson himself had to win reelection in his London-area seat to maintain his eligibility to serve as prime minister.
The U.K. Conservative Party under Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a landslide in yesterday’s general election with 365 seats (with one constituency still undecided). The opposition, far-left Labor (or Labour Party) won 203. According to the Guido Fawkes blog, the Conservatives (a.k.a Tories) seat count is their highest since [Margaret] Thatcher, while Labour’s is their lowest since 1953.”
If polls are to be believed, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party will win a parliamentary majority of some kind in the U.K. general election on Thursday, December 12. Johnson has promised to “get Brexit done,” but that may just be a euphemism for Brexit in Name Only 2.0, which would still keep the U.K. subject to heavy handed, anti-Democratic European Union rules and regulations and its bloated bureaucracy.
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage’s plan to field about 600 candidates in the December 12 U.K. general election is not without controversy. Farage, who will campaign tirelessly for his colleagues throughout the country, stands accused of being a spoiler.
With the U.K. general election scheduled for December 12, many wondered if Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage himself would stand as one of the insurgent group’s 600 or so parliamentary candidates for a seat in the House of Commons.
Today, Halloween, was supposed to be Brexit Day in the U.K., when the country would officially leave the European Union and regain its independence and sovereignty. Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised the nation that Brexit would occur on October 31 “do or die.” The avuncular Johnson also claimed that he’d rather “die in a ditch” than agree to another Brexit deadline extension.
Boris Johnson‘s lifelong dream of becoming U.K. prime minister has become something of a nightmare thus far.
He’s lost his “Conservative” majority in parliament, the House of Commons, and the pro-European Union, Remain-dominated chamber seemingly has passed legislation blocking a no-deal Brexit. Plus, the opposition Labor Party under Marxist anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn has blocked Johnson’s call for a snap national election to break the impasse, reversing their new election advocacy. Making matters worse, the Tony Blair-appointed, globalist Supreme Court ruled that Johnson’s temporary prorogation (suspension) of parliament was illegal.
