General Election 2019

This election is all about Brexit. The party that gets it right will win, and the rest will be consigned to the dustbin of history. Politicians who don't understand what people want don't deserve to be elected.

There was no doubt at the Referendum campaigns that Remain means remain as-is and Leave means leave. British public were promised dire consequences, if they voted to Leave. It was clear that a vote to Leave would result in a clean break from the European Union. The leaders at the time made it very clear. These leaders included local and foreign politicians.

US President Barack Obama jumped across the pond just to warn UK citizens not to vote Leave. He promised, "the UK is going to be in the back of the queue" for US Trade Deals, if voters dared challenge his employers.1

UK Chancellor George Osborne threatened a punishment budget on the British, if they dared vote Leave. He was thrown out the morning after the referendum, along with his boss.

The current UK Prime Minister has rightly established that the current Parliament is not-fit-for-purpose! It's going nowhere, and needs to be taken back to the people again. Citizens are given another chance to (s)elect their representatives. Many MPs seem to represent their sponsors than the constituents who elected them. An awakened public might see through that.

British citizens are given yet another opportunity to change their mind! First was the EU Elections in 2014. Second was the Referendum in 2016. Third was the General Election in 2017. Fourth was the EU Elections in 2019. Fifth attempt to guage the political mood of the citizens is yet another General Election in Dec 2019. This game goes on… with no end in sight yet.
