A grande queda do Reino Unido

A Grã-Bretanha decaiu – mais ou menos como a Argentina – durante a maior parte do século XX; se restabeleceu minimamente com a Margaret Thatcher, para depois ser sabotado por trabalhistas e conservadores, estes os supremos idiotas que criaram essa confusão toda com um plebiscito ainda mais idiota.
Agora ele volta a decair inapelavelmente, como antecipa a revista liberal por excelência, The Economist:
Our cover in Britain dissects a week in which Theresa May, the prime minister, has offered to resign and Parliament has seized control of Brexit—sidelining the executive for the first time in over a century. Sadly, Mrs May’s sacrifice does nothing to solve Britain’s Brexit mess. Her resignation depends on Parliament voting through her deal after two crushing defeats. Even if she succeeds (a very big if), Parliament remains hopelessly divided about Britain’s future relationship with Europe. If her deal fails and Parliament forces its own alternative on her, she could resist. If she goes, the next prime minister’s Brexit plan will have no popular mandate. Brexit remains as radically uncertain as it has ever been.
