It Would Be a Disaster If This Leads To Corbyn

It's unclear at the moment if Teresa May will be ousted as the British Prime Minister and if that will lead to elections.  There is a deep split among the Tories and with the Unionists in Ulster about the terms under which Brexit will be accomplished.  May has negotiated what many describe as a semi-exit from the European Union rather than a return to full British sovereignty.  That will keep the border between Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland as a "soft" one, but it will also subject the UK to many of the regulations of the EU.  And to be clear, those regulations will be made in Brussels but without any input from the UK.  Her approach seems deeply flawed.  It does not accomplish the aim of Brexit, but it gives up control to Brussels for very little benefit.

That being said, the mess being made by May in the Brexit talks may lead to a victory for Jeremy Corbyn and Labour.  That would be a disaster.  Corbyn is no Tony Blair.  He's a hard left ideologue who could easily take Britain back down the socialist rabbit hole.  He's also a bigot who has frequently expressed anti-Semitic views.  It would be sad indeed to see overt bigotry in the British prime minister.
