It now seems that Brexit will be delayed, even Jacob
Rees-Mogg the MP for North East Somerset and leading light of the European
Research Group seems to expect a short delay after March 29. However, some reports suggest that Brexit
could be put on hold until 2021, or even later. In such
circumstances it is worth reading the article by Gerald Warner which appeared
in Reaction Life on February 27
entitled “Westminster’s message to Britain.
Democracy doesn’t live here anymore.”
Below is the first paragraph of the article, the rest can be
read behind a paywall. Here is a link.
"After innumerable false deadlines and anti-climaxes, we are finally close to the tipping point. Sometime within the next month it seems likely the historic compact between governors and governed that have rendered the British constitution a template for parliamentary democracy will be shattered. That fracturing of our imperfect but workable system of governance by consent will truly be a watershed in history – and a deeply ominous one."
