UK: more uncertainty for its future

Daily Analysis - 05/11/2019

Snap elections may not be the solution for Brexit

uk-elections-3


According to experts, the UK snap election may not be the solution to the Brexit that filled the country with fear and uncertainty for more than three years. UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s agreement was supported, in principle, by UK legislators last month but a political disagreement over the time of the departure from the EU in Westminster directed Boris Johnson to postpone Brexit proposal while opposition parties agreed to have an election. Johnson stated “the way to get Brexit done” was to hold a nationwide election next December. However political experts claim that this is not the correct path to take. UK citizens are still profoundly split around EU membership, with the 2016 vote itself providing a 51.89% result for withdrawing and 48.11% to remain in the EU.
