Brexit: if UK retains two party system it could be LibDems vs Brexit

By Arthur Dent - posted Tuesday, 4 June 2019


Now he says:

"The next weeks, with the election of a new Conservative leader and therefore prime minister, will be crucial in British history".

Ending the two party system by introducing PR would indeed be a significant development, but he certainly hasn't got that possibility in mind or he would have mentioned it.

I cannot guess what he thinks might change about the UK Parliament's adamant rejection of "No Deal" as a result of the temporary appointment as Prime Minister of the leader of a party that has collapsed to 19% of the vote and that lost control of the House months ago.

Neither can he, or he would have blithered about it.

But if the "next weeks" will be crucial he must at least no longer be "certain" that the Brexit mess "has a long way to run".
