BREXIT CRISIS: Is May Winning?

No but she has stopped losing. Her plan is to allow her detractors to create chaotic political conditions into which she can step with the only credible plan. It is not a perfect plan, but it is a plan and it preserves the economic interests of the UK and with it the living standards of ordinary people. Parliament will definitely never allow a  hard or no deal Brexit. More important it may yet, in the end, vote through the final edition of May’s plan. Or there could be what is now called a People’s Vote. This all represents a big political shift in less than a week.

What is notable is the deflation of the Rees-Mogg led ERG. It thought it was on a roll, but it has ground to a halt as support for it ebbs. There is an underlying reason for all of this. It is now abundantly clear to absolutely everybody, that however you present it and even if niche areas benefit, the UK cannot be better off  economically outside the EU.  If you follow the money, whatever the plan,  staying in is best.

So it comes down to sovereignty. More on that later. Just for now this. If you are a single mum trying to decide between being warm and hungry or cold but fed on low quality food, sovereignty is not a big issue.
