Make no mistake about it, UK Prime Minister Theresa May is an outstanding political failure, and, like other outstanding female political failures, is only in office because she is a woman—and woman politicians are simply not judged as harshly as their male colleagues, which, on its own, is one reason they shouldn't be in politics.
Really, she should have resigned last June when she pissed away a 20-point lead in the opinion polls to almost let an "unelectable" Labour Party win the 2017 General Election. But because of female privilege she was allowed to hang on and go into Brexit negotiations she didn't even believe in with a much weakened hand.
Now, in a weekend meeting with Cabinet members at Chequers, the government's "house in the country," she has cobbled together what is supposed to be a position on Brexit that will unite Hard Brexiters, Soft Brexiters, and Remainers in her Conservative Party, while also being acceptable to the power brokers of the EU (a.k.a "The German Empire").
The fact is that what she has come up with here is an unworkable fudge that may sound OK in a press release or two, but will soon fall apart into a shitstorm of argument, division, and political chaos.
In fact, people in the Cabinet probably signed off on this deal precisely because they knew it was totally unworkable and would send the Prime Minister cheerfully walking out into a political minefield to be blown to smithereens.
Indeed, the only people the deal will please, besides a deluded Theresa May herself, are "uber-Remain" civil servants, who never wanted to leave the EU.
The new deal leaves the UK in the EU's Single Market and Customs Union in all but name, meaning that the UK economy would effectively be controlled from Brussels, without the UK having any political input whatsoever.
Under the deal, the UK would remain behind the high, protectionist Customs Union tariffs, making imported goods—like food, clothes, and cars—expensive, especially for the poor, while also making the UK a dumping ground for German and other EU exports. The UK would also slavishly collect customs duties on the EU’s behalf and be prevented from making trade deals with other countries.
In short, the UK would be Germany's gimp on a chain. The UK's colonial masters would then no doubt use their economic leverage to turn the UK into another type of dumping ground—i.e. a recipient for all the Muslim migrants they let into Europe to pay off their perceived "blood debt" to the Jews.
As for the EU leaders, they are happy to see this deal, not because they will agree to it, but because they know it weakens an already weakened Prime Minister and could lead to a Labour government, which would then open up the possibility of a second referendum on EU membership, which they are hoping to win.
So, what can we expect from here?
Once the reality sets in and the detail becomes clearer, there will be rumblings and rebellions, and the realisation that the fear-mongering that has pushed the deal this far is fake, and that any negatives will not be half as bad as the deal itself.
There may even be a push to ignore the corrupt vested economic interests that have created this fudge and appoint a new leader of the Conservative Party who can maximise the advantages—both political and economic—of the hard Brexit option.
The main thing to emphasise here is that this deal has May's name all over it, and that when it dies, as it inevitably will, it must drag May down with it to her political death.
