BREXIT DECONSTRUCTED: There are three outcomes left... now pick one

If you have the misfortune to be paying close attention to a Brexit – a sensible choice, even if not one likely to spark joy – this week has, on the surface of things, looked like an exciting one.

Jeremy Corbyn is backing a second referendum! I think; unless he’s only backing it if a deal gets voted through... Except if it’s Labour’s Brexit deal... But what would that mean if MPs didn’t back any deal? No vote and an automatic no-deal?

It’s okay anyway because Theresa May has backed an extension to Article 50. But not for two weeks. And only if her deal doesn’t get voted through... And if MPs vote down no-deal... Or something.

As we have said before, there are only three outcomes left for how the UK’s current stand-off ends: the UK crashes out of the EU with no deal, the UK’s parliament votes to revoke Article 50 and we remain in the EU on our current terms, or we leave under the Withdrawal Agreement negotiated by Theresa May.

There are three outcomes. Pick one.

The odds are not so good. Why are both the UK & USA so screwed up NOW?? I always thought both countries were doing GOOD. Maybe, I am just to isolated in my caviler attitude!!!
