On the 23rd of June 2016, people of the United Kingdom made a historical decision following a questionable referendum, putting an end to 43 years of British cooperation with the other countries member of the European Union. After this big defeat, former Prime minister David Cameroun resigned and left his leadership to Theresa May, now in charge of preparing the Kingdom’s withdrawal. A task that has since then not evolved…
Theresa May has No plan B
Last Monday, Theresa May announce she needs more time to renegotiate with her allies, as she failed to submit a rewritten version of the Bruxels agreements to the parliament preparing UK’s exit from the EU.
This is a new painful shock for the government since Boris Johnson, former Minister of Foreign Affairs also in charge of the matter, resigned after admitting not being able to find a satisfactory outcome. Deputies are impatiently waiting for a new offer since they refuted the first one on the 15 of January. But what is slowing down the process?
North Ireland in the heart of the storm
One of the noisest problems is the “security fillet” that government wants to install at the border between the two Irelands to control a future wave of emigration conducted by the pro-European and the return of a physical border. Exiting the UE means no more Schengen, so no more free circulation and passport controls. A real administrative puzzle has to be figured out, regarding taxes and road feeds.
A future, more attentive, listening government
The only promises made by the first woman to be Priminister is a more “consulting government” with clearer dialogues between the chambers and the representatives.
A change of methods for a government “more open and inclusive in the way of associating Parliament” says Theresa May.
