On Tuesday, when she announced a snap general election, more than 5,000 people joined the Liberal Democrats, the only anti-Brexit party. Hence the election will undoubtedly be another “Brexit ballot”.
In an e-mail sent yesterday, the British Embassy in Bangkok was asked whether expatriates living abroad for more than 15 years would now be given the vote. While being barred from the Brexit referendum there was an assurance that the law would be changed almost immediately. The embassy reply was prompt, brief and informative – a picture of the Union Jack.
Is this another farce in the making?
After the general election, will there be yet another referendum and then another, until we eventually get it right? Will Brexit happen in this life or the next, or even the next?
