On and On
Britain's reputation has been taking a beating over Brexit and the inability of parliament to resolve the issue of leaving the EU. Now the EU has granted another extension until Jan. 31 with the hope that the UK can decide by then what to do. Brexit has never made sense economically. The country is tied to mainland Europe with millions of mercantile interests. It will compromise those upon departure and will need to rebuild connections. PM Boris Johnson's desire to leave without a deal is reckless, and parliament is not letting him get away with it. So, the country is stuck in a netherworld and all parliament can do is to wrangle over departure terms or call for another referendum on leaving, which Johnson opposes. Sometimes democracy doesn't work well. This is one of them. There must be a conclusion one way or the other. The EU won't wait forever.
