My Genuine Thoughts on the B Word

Brexit. There you go - I've said it. It's the dreaded 'b' word that everyone seems to either love or hate talking about here in Britain. In terms of my personal political stance, I'd consider myself to be a bit of a right-winger and yes, I am a proud Brexiteer for those of you wondering. Unfortunately, during the period of time of when the Brexit referendum took place, I could not vote due to age restrictions, otherwise I would have 100% voted for Brexit. Looking at my thoughts holistically, I think I might consider myself a patriot which might seem weird to some people given the fact that I am not one that you’d find at a royal parade or wedding. However, when it comes to the politics of my country, you could say that I am definitely at the forefront of it all. Since the 2016 referendum, Britain has definitely gone through a rollercoaster and we are still on it as we go through the transition period but it’s fair to say that our government has been so divided that internationally, we come across as a laughing stock. In my opinion, having Theresa May as our Prime Minister has been one of the best things that has happened to our country since Churchill.

I have already prepared myself for the objections, but just take a minute and think about it: why is it that it’s always the men who leave the country in a mess and then the women have to come and clean their job? It is absolutely ludricous! Theresa May has done a splendid job in terms of actually negotiating a deal to begin with and the fact that she is getting so much backlash for not coming up with a better deal is totally absurd. People aren’t thinking of the practicality of the situation and the fact that Brexit is approaching us so very rapidly and that we should be acting realistically instead of wasting time and being petty over who should be governing our country and who should be coming up with the deal. All in all, I have faith in Theresa May and the Conservative Party in governing Britain and handling Brexit, hence, I think that they definitely deserve more credit than they’re given.

Another pressing issue that nobody seems to be caring about is the fact that nobody seems to be supporting any of May's deals. Unlike any of the other politicians, May has worked tirelessly to negotiate a deal with the EU and every time she presents her deal in Parliament, she seems to lack support (even from within her own party :( ) which makes me question whether MPs are actually doing their jobs of representing their constituencies if they are just being selfish by not voting for May's deal, thus ultimately resulting in a no-deal Brexit. Nobody wants a no-deal Brexit, but by the looks of it, having a no-deal Brexit seems like the only proposition that MPs are reluctantly willing to go ahead with (even though they've voted against it last week). It seems to me as if Parliament is never going to be happy with anything and this is probably because majority of Parliament never wanted Brexit in the first place. However, I place my trust in the leader of the country, who, unlike others, has relentlessly worked in the best interest of the British nation, and for that, she deserves some credit.
