If the polls are right, Theresa May is about to lead the Conservatives to a fifth place finish in the EU elections. Her authority over her party has diminished to the point where even her attempts to use her resignation date as leverage are being ignored. And yet, she is planning to hold MV4 in the near future. Its chances of success are very poor.
For his part, Jeremy Corbyn has broken off talks with the government, because he still sees the collateral effects of an unruly Brexit as his ticket to power. Unfortunately for him: (a) he probably won’t get his general election; (b) since both parties are split on Brexit, a general election wouldn’t help to clarify the issue; and (c) he wouldn’t win the election, anyway, since the fear of a far left government is the one thing that unites the Conservatives.
At this point, the most likely outcome is a no-deal exit and BoJo as PM before the end of the year.
Is this a great country, or what?
