The Brits and their Brexit

In our language we would say: "What a soup!"

And it is. Yesterday evening, the Commons rejected Theresa May's new proposal once more. I guess that lady was ready for a heart attack. Today, parliament must decide whether they are going to have a no-deal brexit. When they vote 'no', they'll vote for delay the next day.


I quite understand why the British joined the EU: they wanted the extra funding they'd receive as member. But why do they want to leave? To prove that Great Britain is still an empire??? They obviously thought wrong. No country in Europe has world power, even if they think so. They would only stand a chance when they become one power, one country, with several states like in the USA. But being Europe, that will never be. So many have tried - the Romans, Napoleon, Hitler... They all failed, just because of the different nations living here. Already in our own country there is a difference between a Fleming and a Walloon (not to mention the difference between a Fleming living in Flanders and one in Limburg...).

There is big chance that eventually the Brits will forget about Brexit, I think. What is your opinion?
