As the United Kingdom government reevaluates years of their post-Brexit policy earlier this week, the UK prime minister states that he is open for debate regarding countries’ European prospects. As a part of this discussion, the prime minister has informed us that he would be open for either returning to the EU fully or joining a single market. A decision that he wanted to support by the means of the potential second referendum regarding free EU-UK movement. At the same time, the recent backtrack on the decision shows that despite the wide national approval, the government of Prime Minister Andy Burnham is still haunted by the Brexit referendum.
The decade of regrets
As the UK is forced to face the instability in the last 4 years, it becomes clear that the strategy of the multilateral alignment outside of the EU didn’t justify the means. As America becomes an unstable agent of influence that tries to coerce Ukraine into surrender and is willing to ignite their own wars around the world. The UK is forced to make a decision between the stronger EU alignment and dismissing the results of the binding Brexit referendum. Or to continue to exit as a middle power with a limited direct entanglement with the EU in favor of the alliances with the developing economies. A question to which no prime minister since Boris Johnson has been able to give a solid answer, as anti-Brexit policies are becoming a new language of the establishment parties of the UK.
