The British people made their voices heard a second time in a historic election in the UK on December 12th. They showed that they were done with EU for the second time, since parliament didn’t believe them the first time. And now Queen Elizabeth is opening Parliament with instructions to get the job done by the end of January.
The UK wants out of the EU for trade reasons, currency reasons, immigration reasons, and sovereignty reasons – and they want out ASAP.
The Labour Party stonewalled the people
The Labour party thought they could drag out Brexit long enough that the people would forget about it, so they continually opposed what was clearly the will of the people. Consequently, the Conservative Party, led by the weak Prime Minister Theresa May, did not have enough of a majority to get Brexit done.
May finally stepped aside, after years of wrangling in the House of Commons over how Brexit should be done. With her out of the way the Conservative party held a special election to choose a new party leader.
Boris Johnson becomes the Prime Minister
Boris Johnson resoundingly won the special election for leader of the Conservative party with 66% of the vote in the summer of 2019. After his victory he promised: “to deliver Brexit, unite the country and defeat Jeremy Corbyn.”
Johnson then formed a new government and got busy working on Brexit, but the Labour Party continued to frustrate all attempts to leave the EU.
Boris Johnson gambles and wins
Johnson finally took a huge risk that might have ended with the Conservative party losing the majority and Johnson losing his position. He called for a general election to be held on December 12. All of the seats were up for grabs.
It was a huge gamble, but the British people gave the Conservative party an 80-seat majority in a landslide victory. The Labour party and Jeremy Corbyn were thoroughly beaten and demoralized. They are still trying to explain why Labour took such a beating. Johnson claimed a mandate to get the UK out of the EU.
The United Kingdom will leave the European Union
With Johnson as the Prime Minister and a huge Conservative majority in Parliament, the UK is exiting the European Union by January 31st, 2020. There will be some pain involved since the UK provided over 13% of the EU budget which amounts to about 13 billion Euros each year. It has been an important pillar of the EU, but always with reservations. Those reservations have won the day.
The EU Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans wrote a letter to chide a little and to express his love for the UK. The EU opposed Brexit all along and didn’t make it easy on them, so the letter is a bit ironic. The EU had a chance to make things better for the UK while they were still part of the EU but they didn’t and now it is too late.
The US and the UK are fighting similar battles
It is natural to cheer for the United Kingdom in their struggle to throw off the administrative stranglehold of the EU and to be a sovereign nation again, free to make decisions that serve the needs of the people in the UK. Their story closely parallels our own here in America as we struggle to be free of an administrative state that actively opposes the will of the people. The European Union is the European swamp.
The Queen approves
Queen Elizabeth II opened Parliament on December 19th and charged the government to finish Brexit by January 31st, 2020.

หนังการ์ตูนหนังครอบครัวหนังจินตนาการหนังนิยายวิทยาศาสตร์หนังผจญภัย Sci-Fi ภาพยนตร์ที่มีเนื้อหาอ้างอิงวิทยาศาสตร์ แต่ทำออกมาให้น่าสนใจอาจจะผสมจินตนาการเข้าไปด้วย แต่หลายคนบอกว่าไม่ชอบเพราะดูไม่รู้เรื่อง ซึ่งก็เป็นความจริงเพราะบางเรื่องก็ต้องอาศัยความรู้พื้นฐานเป็นเดิมพันบ้าง แต่ถ้าหากชมบ่อยๆ ก็จะเริ่มรู้เรื่องและกลายเป็นคนชอบหนังประเภทนี้ก็ได้ หนังแนวนี้สามารถต่อจินตนาการให้เราได้ เผลอๆ คนที่ดูอาจจะคิดอะไรดีๆ ออกมาสร้างประโยชน์ให้กับคนรอบข้างได้ และแนวคิดของหนังแนวนี้ก็เป็นแรงกระตุ้นให้นักวิทยาศาสตร์พยายามทำให้ได้แบบในหนัง
