.... and a prosperous 2019

Like UK citizens and businesses or any other entity with (intended) interests in the UK, I too have been breaking my head over finding a meaningful occasion to write something meaningful over what the UK Parliament has come to call meaningful voting.  Certainly, Sir Winston Churchill would see purpose in outweighing sovereignty against the position of the moon and the tides along with scraps of spy information from the other side, before deciding upon turning any given day into a historic one.

I wonder what the response rates would be if the world population were to be asked to identify who Theresa May and Michel Barnier are (and what both have in common with potentially meaningless referenda ...).  And we have pretty much forgotten Dave Cameron, haven't we?  Then we are still to unfold how unified EU institutions are with continuing individual member states on the other side of the negotiating table.

So far EU politicians have done a tremendous job in isolating Brexit as indeed a mere UK domestic issue.  But it is not, is it?

I cannot think of any other sizeable country in the world where modern democracy is practiced as genuine, as necessarily courteous and as swift as in the UK, as balanced as one could expect in today's world, representing the impatiently impulsed characterised constituents while mandating matters of state.  How Victorian.  In Italy we would have seen 3 general elections already, in Germany the creation of new political parties, in Greece MP's would have started hitting each other and in the EU parliament, its members would just stop showing up.

The cross-party campaigning ahead of the referendum was probably the first significant political event which became shadowed by the fake news and cyber espionage questioning which all relative democratic and transparent nations are yet to come to terms with, while we still choose to leave choice with every constituent - not to mention the even older and nearly traditional personal agendas any person in power will inevitably hold - so we should not really be surprised with the amount of yea's and nay's and booh's across Westminster at present and for the time to come.

With all the attention the UK Parliament is getting, perhaps we are getting a peek of how much or rather how little significance a member of a parliament really can bear in name of whom she or he represents.

Two and half years of negotiations and debates involving thousands of taxpayer paid workers are driving an increasing number of politicians in and outside governments on all sides to once again relay the question of what to do and decide back with the people, whether by means of organizing another referendum (how continental that would be) or by calling upon pride, unity, thrive, belief, creativity and all those other human characteristics that appear so basic yet so absent amongst governing powers.

We are not (just) getting impatient with the uncertainty of if, how and when a country is to cease to be an EU Member State, we are wondering what the purpose of so many politicians is if serious matters meet so much indecision amongst whom we chose to intermediate on our behalf.

And that is another issue still to come in every other (aspiring) democracy.

Ooorderrrr !!!
