POGS, I totally agree that the leadership of both major parties is most definitely under threat due to Brexit disagreements within their organisations. Even the most right-wing newspapers are stating today that the May government could collapse as early as next week if some kind of agreement cannot be reached among her warring cabinet members at Chequers over the weekend.
However, I cannot see how in the Conservative party at this time any alternative leader acceptable to the majority is to be found. Therefore, a very disruptive general election could well have to be held at a time when the Brexit date is fast approaching.
However, within the Parliamentary Labour Party deep splits exist in regard to Brexit with Jeremy Corbyn seemingly not even clear on his position in regards to Britain leaving the European Union. Therefore, it has to be asked if a general election would, in fact, solve any of the major questions facing Britain in regards to the European Union.
With now any number of large manufacturing companies and other businesses stressing that they may well leave Britain in favour of the re-establishment in the European Union should Britain leave in a hard Brexit, then I believe many would wonder in regards to the future stability of the United Kingdom should the above come about.
If a hard Brexit where to bring about the loss of many thousands of jobs, then disruption and perhaps even violence on Britain's streets is not beyond the realms of possibility.
As we both agreed the other day POGS, realism and pragmatism should be now at the forefront of everyone's minds as we look at this seemingly desperate and insolvable problem that we all find ourselves in.
Anyway POGS I am in the office today, so I had better get on with the work. England also takes another step tonight towards lifting the World Cup, so perhaps that can lift the gloom overhanging the country at the moment. Therefore, it is unlikely that I shall be on the forum again today and I hope to be celebrating a very large win
