Crisis from rejection of the Brexit deal
WHY - cause
Two deeper problems
The difficulty of taking back control in a globalized, interconnected world
Harder to do business with countries using different rules
End up following the rules of a more powerful partner without a say in setting them
Even though the EU is running the wrong way, it is unwise for Britain to abandon its seat there
Representative democracy vs. direct democracy
referendum's decision to leave the EU
MPS judge the Mrs May's Brexit deal is not in the constituents' interests
Mrs May piled pressure on PMS saying this is what constituents voted for
Mrs May's deal is far from what was promised
Nothing is to say the vote must entail her version of leaving
MPS should not back a deal they judge as harmful out of respect from the earlier referendum which issued a vague instruction
The doggedness and misjudgment of the leader
double down even after losing her majority in 2017
still trying to frustrate Parliament's vote by running down the clock
win by a narrow margin, not consult the defeated side and pursued a hardline Brexit
HOW - solution
Stop the clock
Mrs May ask for an extension
if not, parliament should vote to give itself the power to do so
but if the prime minister stays on the deal, parliament should seize the wheel
will up-end a long convention that government business takes precedence over backbenchers
With more time, perhaps a deal might be found that both EU and parliament can agree on
Both demand compromise
no form of exit will resemble the prospectus the public were sold in 2016
The only practical and principled way out of the mess is to go back and ask the people what they really wants
A permanent customs union or a Norwegian-style model
WHAT - the problem
Stalemate - What exit deals truly satisfy the will of the people
Parliament rejected Mrs May's Brexit deal
The prime minister plough obdurately on
Limited time
If the puzzle cannot be solved by Mar 29th, Britain will fall out with no deal at all
EU shows little willingness to renegociate
