![]() UK citizens - if the latest polls are to be believed - are now firmly against Brexit. Europeans prefer that the UK pull the trigger itself. However, Europeans do not want to be seen as the side that pulls of the trigger that leads to the UK’s departure from Europe. Another fact is that European leaders want to be rid of this whole Brexit mess. The UK is highly unlikely to leave the EU on Oct. And they are succeeding with the aid of “powerful silent partners.” On the other side of the battlefield, Remainers led by senior Conservative and Labour leaders, Liberal Democrat Joe Cox, and Speaker of the House John Bercow are determined to thwart the far right Conservative Party at every move. Johnson may U-turn and allow Northern Ireland to remain in the European Union with a customs border with the UK. It is highly unlikely that he gets the two things he believes will save his leadership of the UK - a Brexit deal or a no-deal Brexit - albeit the latest news is that Mr. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson - a blustering and bullying personality in the manner of United States President Donald Trump - has been effectively checkmated by UK lawmakers and the legal establishment. And it would be unwise for any “expert” to predict the trajectory and final outcome of the Brexit war at this stage. The Brexit civil war has generated divisions in the UK that cannot be bridged unless the two sides talk and settle. The United Kingdom is becoming Balkanised. ![]()
