Is Brexit a Halloween Trick or Treat?

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is currently meeting with European leaders in an effort to reach a Brexit deal by the current October 31 deadline. On June 23, 2016, the British electorate voted to leave the European Union and reclaim the country’s sovereignty over laws, trade, and immigration, but the divorce decree still hasn’t been signed.

Conservatives Owned or Disowned by U.K. Voters

With some votes still being counted, the Conservative Party got clobbered yesterday in local elections in the U.K. with municipal officials on the receiving end of protest vote over the Prime Minister Theresa May and her party’s failure to implement Brexit. In the low-turnout elections, thousands of voters even scrawled pro-Brexit messages on the ballot papers rather than selecting any of the candidates. “It is unusual to see a consistent message from those spoiling their ballots, reflecting the growing anger at the government’s failure to deliver an exit from the European Union.,” Westmonster noted. read more
