KW: We have always held the view that Brexit would not be allowed to happen, the real owners of the world would not allow it, they being the powerful bankers and industrialists who will ma ke huge money out of chaos. If it were to proceed to be a ‘No Deal’ Brexit then it could be such a shambles that it will be a costly and unworkable solution. Brussels, not London remains in control. Now we have the votes counted chaos starts in earnest. Update 17/01/19: Teresa May has survived the no confidence vote by a slim 19 vote margin but what we are hearing is sounds of remorse from some European politicians that they drove such an unworkable deal that it might actually work out bad for them now and maybe they should do some reconsidering and make some consessions and extend the timeline for Brexit to be more orderly. Naturally the bankers want centralised control and that means people like Jean Claude Junker (President of the European Commission) who mercilessly allowed the looting of Greece to occur so the bankers didn’t lose on all the bad loans they had made in Greece remain among the most powerful people in Britain. God Save the Queen.
The delay failed to prompt any meaningful changes to aid the PM’s cause, as it was ultimately rejected by parliament. The development comes just 10 weeks before the UK is set to leave the EU, bringing even more uncertainty to the already turbulent Brexit process.
Responding to the resounding defeat, May promised that her government “respects the will of the House” but said that it was her “duty to deliver” Brexit for British citizens who voted to leave the EU in 2016. Every day that passes without a deal, May said, means “more uncertainty, more bitterness and more rancour.” She said it was not her government’s strategy to “run down the clock” to March 29, when the UK is scheduled to leave the EU, adding that she believes the best way to move forward is in an “orderly way.” May had earlier warned that a no-deal scenario made the prospect of a united Ireland, independent Scotland and ultimate breakup of the UK more likely. She called a no-deal scenario “the real threat to our union.”
May admitted that it was now necessary to confirm if the House still has confidence in the government and said that if a motion of no confidence was tabled, it would be debated in parliament on Wednesday. Standing to speak directly after May, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the prime minister had suffered a “catastrophic defeat” and immediately tabled that motion of no confidence in her leadership.
The pound kneejerked lower, but swiftly recovered as traders realized that the overwhelming defeat means the EU may now reconsider its decision not to reopen negotiations. A temporary free-trade agreement only about the movement of goods, which wouldn’t need the ratification of the EU’s 27 members A temporary zero tariff on some imports from the EU in order to keep food prices down The U.K. could withhold some or all of its 39 billion-pound annual contribution, as it is not in an implementation period May’s government could force the measure through by secondary legislation to an existing act of Parliament or amend future legislation.
Meanwhile, amid the chaos in the aftermath of Tuesday’s vote, this quote reportedly used by Winston Churchill to mock Americans is once again being thrown around to mock the fractiousness in May’s conservative party. “You can always count on them to do the right thing – after they have tried everything else.”
What will the right thing turn out to be. The Brits voted for Brexit to reclaim control of their borders for one thing and to stop the enormous payments that were going to Brussells, reclaim their sovereignty that meant that Westminister would be restored as the body of political power for the British. Will they have the guts to stand up and fight for their independence or have they all folded into the European nightmare?
