There’s an enormous amount of stewing going around on this side of the pond about the British election results. I still don’t feel comfortable in analyzing the election results from other countries so I’ll limit myself to the observation the vote was hardly a resounding rejection of the Tories. They still got a plurality of the vote. While I think there’s an argument to be made that it was a rejection of Theresa May, nervousness about Brexit, and any number of other things, I’m not the one to be making those arguments and I don’t think that most of us here in the U. S. are.
I suspect the French, Germans and the EU commission will make the very mistake you are cautioning against; that the Brits are coming to their senses and will come begging on their knees to take whatever the trio offer.
In that case they are going to be in for a rude surprise.
On the surface the election appears defined by age similarly to the Democratic primary.
