BREXIT, a profound lack of leadership and the need for immediate action
Thousands of pages have been written trying to explain the insane result of the British referendum which gave birth to the BREXIT madness.
There seems to be a consensus on the key reasons which are no other than a notoriously risky strategy by PM David Cameron and an unprecedented concentration of populist forces in the UK (just about as the rest of the western world — possibly at a more malicious style), which unfortunately found a fertile ground of an Ill-structured relationship between the UK and the rest of the EU.
What however has not yet been sufficiently pointed out is that what we lead is nothing but a profound lack of leadership.
What do I mean by that: Everyone at the British elite who should know, does know. BREXIT will be disastrous, no matter how will it happen, with a deal or without.
It is clear that the voters were systematically misinformed and that the minimum that should happen is for this reality to be acknowledged resulting to nothing else but a new referendum, now that the UK public has a good understanding of the situation.
PM Theresa May should make a call for a new referendum. The same of course, perhaps even more, stands for the Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbin, as well as for the liberal democrats and any other democratic political power in the UK.
These people, these groups, have to find the courage now and speak up with a loud and clear voice. BREXIT is an insanity which does not have to happen. There’s still time and the action required is nothing but a new referendum.
Nobody ever said that being a leader is easy; times of crisis, like this one, is when leaders must find the courage and do the right thing, regardless of that being popular or not.
Both Europe and Britain can only be Great if they are together. If they separate, slowly but surely both will become irrelevant in the international geopolitical and geoeconomic game.
This is nothing but an evident truth which does have to be spoken out by PM Theresa May and Labour leader Jeremy Corbin.
When? No later than now.
