https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/uk-lawmakers-back-eu-exit-deal-turning-page-on-brexit-crisis/ar-BBYN6Qs?ocid=spartanntp
LONDON, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Lawmakers approved legislation on Thursday which will allow Britain to leave the European Union on Jan. 31 with an exit deal, ending more than three years of tumult over the terms of the unprecedented divorce. They voted 330 to 231 in favor of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill, which implements an exit deal agreed with the EU last year. That allows Prime Minister Boris Johnson to turn the page on one of Britain's deepest political crises in decades, putting an end to the fears of an immediate disorderly exit which had cast a shadow over the economy and fueled divisions over the 2016 referendum decision to leave the EU. "It is time to get Brexit done. This bill does so," Brexit minister Stephen Barclay told lawmakers, summing up hours of debate in parliament. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I like how the literal entire European foreign policy goal of London since 1558 has been to keep the continent as disorganized as possible, and they voluntarily gave up their last remaining ability to do so by influencing the EU from the inside.
Even if the British economy doesn't tank, which it will, and even if Scotland stays in the UK, which it might not, and even if the mess of a temporary solution in Northern Ireland actually works, which it won't, at the very least the British voluntarily gave up the entirety of their foreign policy influence on the EU. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ...

There's always the absurd option of the UK essentially moving into its kid's basement, and joining the US. The more likely option is if the Brits are able to revive the idea of an Imperial Federation and make a more united polity and trading entity with Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and even that's a pretty massive stretch aside from expanded but still loose trade agreements. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ...

Anywhere that still has the Queen on money may actually be a viable option. Maybe the future is the creation of a Commonwealth Federation based in London which local autonomy and a united trade and foreign policy. That'd keep the Brits as major players globally, but economically they'd still be overwhelmingly tied to trade deals with more localized partners and with international powerhouses like the USA, China, Europe, and India. Would that be enough to salvage their hit from not being in the EU? Maybe, but not definitely, and regardless it would take time to form and hurt them in the immediate future in a big way economically. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ...
