Chaos avoided

In 2011 the Coalition Government presented and Parliament passed the Fixed Term Parliament Act (FTPA), in order to give politics some stability and take away from the Prime Minister the ability to dissolve Parliament at his whim.

Since then no Parliament has lasted the full 5 years, obviously.

In another universe, the 5 year Parliament of David Cameron's 2 election party would be coming to and end, thus avoiding the "chaos" of an Ed Milliband Labour Government.

Phew, imagine what a shot state the country would be in now?

So, elections in 2015. Referendum in 2016. Another election in 2017. And another in 2019. Three Prime Ministers. Sectors collapsing and all high volume car manufacture to close.

It is worth noting also that Cameron was elected on a platform for the UK to be at the centre of the EU's single market.

That David Cameron and even Theresa May seem skilled politicians and presided over times of stability and wealth make them seem like some kind of Golden Age.

Instead we find ourselves out of the EU, heading towards a no deal end to the transition period, which hardly anyone is noticing, but will cripple what is left of the country once we exit these days days of the COVID virus. COVID is someone who would murder your wife and family, Brexit will slash the tyres of your car at their funeral.

The lies of how bad immigration is for the country has been proved the lies they always were by 2020, with those brave people keeping the NHS going and picking our crops from the fields. And yet the madness of Brexit continues. The lies continues. And who should be surprised by the liar-in-chief at Prime Minister? Not I.

These are dark days, but there will be more to come. The mis-handling of this crisis comes are the shambolic Brexit negotiations, of which Johnson was a Cabinet Minister for most of. His "deal" that got Brexit done breaks the UK internal market, and no one yet knows how it will work. Indications are that Johnson intends to break that international treaty.

We should be very worried indeed. No one will trust this country for a very long time.
