Britain's largest black swan is about to fly out! The weak Aunt May provoked public anger!

SMM5, March 23: since the Brexit referendum nearly three years ago, Brexit has still made no progress. British politics is changing. The pound has barely closed in the past 14 days, and the pound has been close to 1.26 against the US dollar in the past 14 days. There is really not much time left for British Prime Minister Theresa May.

In early June, Aunt May was ready to enter parliament with a new version of the Brexit draft for four times in order to complete her Brexit during her term of office. Earlier, she had said that she would trade her political career for the passage of the Brexit draft, but this was obviously her own wishful thinking. Labour will not joke about Britain's future and fate.

Aunt May announced on the 21st a new version of the Brexit agreement, which will be voted on in the House of Representatives early next month. Among the ten core elements of this plan, it unexpectedly includes the second referendum that Aunt May has resisted countless times before. Aunt May explained that she still does not believe that a second referendum is the next step, but many people want to do so.

After the announcement of the agreement, the conservative party took the lead, and lawmakers expressed disappointment with the new Brexit agreement, denouncing the second referendum as a betrayal of the 2016 referendum result and hoping that Aunt May would cancel the request for a second referendum. The leader of the House of Commons, Lidsom, asked Aunt May to resign directly on the 22nd. She said she could not trust the May government to leave the European Union successfully, and believed that the second referendum would lead to serious division. The EU is also disgusted, with people in the EU saying their expectations of Prime Minister May have been dashed and that everything is noisy until they see the new prime minister's plan.

Aunt May tried to win the support of the Labour Party through options such as a second referendum and a temporary customs union, but was flatly rejected by Labour leader Corbin, who said it was just a repackaging of the plan to collapse talks with the Labour Party last week. Labour will not support May's Brexit deal. Corbin called for a general election to break the deadlock in Brexit.

There was also a dramatic scene last night when a British lawmaker said Prime Minister Theresa May would resign tonight, according to Sky News. Later, sources at 10 Downing Street in the UK said that Theresa May would not resign tonight. It was later confirmed that May had left Downing Street to meet the Queen, a routine meeting on Wednesday night, rather than quitting. Some Conservative MPs said that when May will resign may depend on the EU election results.

So far from Brexit, the weak Aunt May has indeed been unable to lead Britain to complete the final Brexit. Aunt May's Brexit agreements have changed from beginning to end, and they have not been supported by the Labour Party at all. From three years ago to the present, a round of negotiations. On the face of it, there has been some gain, but in fact, there has been no progress. So far, neither Brexit nor a second referendum has been ruled out. On the contrary, it has caused a lot of coquettish, and the future of Britain's future is still illusory. And Aunt Mei has run out of skills. Her tinkering will not change the approval of the Labour Party, and Aunt May's ouster will happen sooner or later, and it will not take long. If Britain faces a general election, the Black Swan may come again, populism may have to rise again in the UK, and perhaps only the last Trump-style villain can lead Britain to a true Brexit.
