Brexit Update

Apparently very soon Parliament will vote on Theresa May’s Brexit plan, and everyone seems to believe it will be defeated. People are asking what she will do then, speculating on another referendum or other actions.

What she should do is resign, inasmuch as the defeat means her colleagues do not accept her best effort at Brexit. She should give another Tory leader a shot at fixing the problem.

It isn’t clear May will do this. Frankly, it wasn’t clear that - facing Brexit - she should have formed a minority government with a Northern Ireland Protestant party holding Brexit requirements she cannot satisfy.

Whatever May chooses to do, Anglophiles like yours truly will find worth following.
