The British people made their voices heard a second time in a historic election in the UK on December 12th. They showed that they were done with EU for the second time, since parliament didn’t believe them the first time. And now Queen Elizabeth is opening Parliament with instructions to get the job done by the end of January.
The UK wants out of the EU for trade reasons, currency reasons, immigration reasons, and sovereignty reasons – and they want out ASAP.
The Labour Party stonewalled the people
The Labour party thought they could drag out Brexit long enough that the people would forget about it, so they continually opposed what was clearly the will of the people. Consequently, the Conservative Party, led by the weak Prime Minister Theresa May, did not have enough of a majority to get Brexit done.
May finally stepped aside, after years of wrangling in the House of Commons over how Brexit should be done. With her out of the way the Conservative party held a special election to choose a new party leader.
Boris Johnson becomes the Prime Minister
Boris Johnson resoundingly won the special election for leader of the Conservative party with 66% of the vote in the summer of 2019. After his victory he promised: “to deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn.”
Johnson then formed a new government and got busy working on Brexit, but the Labour Party continued to frustrate all attempts to leave the EU.
Boris Johnson gambles and wins
Johnson finally took a huge risk that might have ended with the Conservative party losing the majority and Johnson losing his position. He called for a general election to be held on December 12. All of the seats were up for grabs.
It was a huge gamble, but the British people gave the Conservative party an 80-seat majority in a landslide victory. The Labour party and Jeremy Corbyn were thoroughly beaten and demoralized. They are still trying to explain why Labour took such a beating. Johnson claimed a mandate to get the UK out of the EU.
The United Kingdom will leave the European Union
With Johnson as the Prime Minister and a huge Conservative majority in Parliament, the UK is exiting the European Union by January 31st, 2020. There will be some pain involved since the UK provided over 13% of the EU budget which amounts to about 13 billion Euros each year. It has been an important pillar of the EU, but always with reservations. Those reservations have won the day.
The EU Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans wrote a letter to chide a little and to express his love for the UK. The EU opposed Brexit all along and didn’t make it easy on them, so the letter is a bit ironic. The EU had a chance to make things better for the UK while they were still part of the EU but they didn’t and now it is too late.
The US and the UK are fighting similar battles
It is natural to cheer for the United Kingdom in their struggle to throw off the administrative stranglehold of the EU and to be a sovereign nation again, free to make decisions that serve the needs of the people in the UK. Their story closely parallels our own here in America as we struggle to be free of an administrative state that actively opposes the will of the people. The European Union is the European swamp.
The Queen approves
Queen Elizabeth II opened Parliament on December 19th and charged the government to finish Brexit by January 31st, 2020.

At this moment I am going away to do my breakfast, later than having my breakfast coming over again to read more news.|
I’m not sure why but this site is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
Everything posted was very reasonable. But, think on this, suppose you typed a catchier post title? I am not suggesting your content is not good., however suppose you added something that makes people want more? I mean BLOG_TITLE is kinda boring. You could peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create news headlines to get viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your website a little livelier.|

I do like the way you have presented this specific difficulty plus it really does supply me some fodder for consideration. However, coming from what precisely I have witnessed, I simply hope as the actual opinions stack on that people keep on issue and in no way embark on a tirade of some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this excellent piece and while I do not concur with it in totality, I regard the perspective.
Thank you for some other magnificent post. Where else may just anyone get that kind of info in such an ideal means of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m at the look for such info.|
