Brexit on 29 March?

@scheng1 Oh yes it will take longer than two years for sure but at least by then it will be obvious that Britain is still as important as before, if not even more so.

2 years is not enough time for the full impact. After the formal trigger of Brexit, UK still enjoys the full benefits of being EU member for 2 full years. A better time for evaluating will be 10 years later.

@mysdianait Britain will not be more important than now. That is for sure. All countries in EU are trying their best to boost employment rate, and the way to do this is to impose tariff on UK-made products and to impose on overseas transaction cost for banking services. This will cost the jobs to leave UK and come to any of the EU countries. There is no doubt that all EU residents, especially the well-educated young people, want to get gainfully employed in their own countries. When manufacturing jobs, such as automotive industry, and banking jobs go to EU, that will result in several thousands of young people having a job. With a job, they can get married, buy a house and have children without feeling financial inadequate. The politicians know this, and this is really a chance of a lifetime. If they allow UK to retain the same prominence, then they will lose out the chance to bring jobs to EU.

In the case of Brexit, it is not that right to blame the government. The people ask for it, and they have to bear with the high inflation, job loss and other problems associated with Brexit.

@allknowing hope that the government does not do stupid thing. India is a very big country. It is already very hard to manage without an incompetent government to mess it up.

@scheng1 Even in India people have asked for it. There is a new party ruling now.

No, a referendum is not a powerful tool. It has no legal standing. The only problem is that government will lose face when it asks for a referendum, and then does not respect the result.
