Brexit Talks Stall Because Politics


Stakeholders. Theresa May and her Conservative Party must hate them. Probably not all of them, just the other political parties derailing her Brexit plans. The Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland (DUP) and the Scottish National Party (SNP) being the main perpetrators. The UK and EU failed to strike Brexit agreements due to the DUP’s refusal to agree to terms that would separate Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK. This is due to the DUP’s coalition with the Conservative Party to obtain majority parliamentary seats. However, this has proven the cost of power to be assured weakness. What does this mean for the UK? Well, any progression in Brexit talks will likely be hampered by national parties looking to gain political capital whilst the central government loses ground and its own political capital. This shows Brexit to be a charade of politics whilst live and futures hang in the balance.

    It would be really nice to say that putting the people in front of the politician is the norm and that this type of behavior is rare. However, as long as there is power and money to be gained by individuals, entire populations futures' will be considered expendable. With any hope they will come to their sense before it is too late and permanent damage occurs.

Irish border: The 'oxymoron' that could derail Brexit

As BREXIT are still in the talks, and processing we now see why Ireland is being part if it’s problem. It looks like the border is currently invisible, with no boarder control and traffic can run smoothly and no military check point. What’s the problem here, that BREXIT would leave Northern Ireland outside of the EU, which mean any goods going in would need to be inspected and it’ll require a tariff. But the EU thinks Northern Ireland should remain inside the internal market.     Read more Here-> http://money.cnn.com/2017/12/01/news/economy/irish-border-brexit/index.html     Work Cited Riley, Charles. “Irish Border: The 'Oxymoron' That Could Derail Brexit.” CNNMoney , Cable News Network, money.cnn.com/2017/12/01/news/economy/irish-border-brexit/index.html.

The Royal Paradise Papers of Inequality

On the 5th of November 2017 the second largest data leak in history occurred. Confidential documents containing details of offshore investments were made public and included some prominent names such as Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth amongst others.   The premise of the Paradise Papers is an exposé “on how wealthy individuals and companies use offshore accounts to make their fortunes untraceable and unreachable.” The leak was always going to have political implications across the globe but the involvement of British corporations, individuals as well as monarchy will likely bear particular significance on the future of British politics. Why? Because inequality has been one of the major political talking points in the UK for the past few years. The issue of inequality appears to be on the heart and minds of britons and is generally seen as one of the major driving forces behind the majority leave vote during the EU referendum. In June 2017, the issue of inequalit...

Brexit: More than 120 MPs accuse Government of keeping everyone 'in the dark'

120 MP's signed a letter accusing the government of keeping the public and parliament in the dark. The Brexit minister David Jones already confirmed that officials have carried out more than 50 unpublished studies on how EU divorce will impact on different sectors. This is not looking good for the British government and more pressure will be on them in the coming days for them to release and publish their findings. One member of parliament, MP David Lammy, who helped co-ordinate the letter, says “So we are calling on the Government to come clean and publish these studies so we can have a full and frank debate about the impact of Brexit with all the facts and analysis out in the open”.
