G B : HAVE LABOUR PARTY PRINCIPLES CHANGED ?


The healthy debates in the House of Commons over BREXIT this week, have revealed all the complex difficulties faced by Theresa May to present a project of acceptable conditions for Britain to leave the EU !

For different reasons MPs from all Parties are still either for or against her latest project.   Some MPs even want Britain to remain in the EU so ultimately a majority vote could decide this issue !

However, there is one disturbing  factor, the reactions of Jeremy Corbyn.  He was chosen by the Socialist Party in 2015 as their Leader, but since then he has not, in the opinion of many other observers, acted like a traditional Socialist Leader.

Corbyn's refusal to join other party leaders to discuss the current BREXIT conditions with Theresa May, was astounding but also very worrying !

This is not the first time his independent nature has shocked  people, including some members of his Party.   His beliefs appear to be not just "left" but "FAR left" !
   
If what he says and does could become the Party Policy in future, it would seem Party elders perhaps need to act ! 

Corbyn could become the next Socialist Prime Minister !

GB : HOW FAR WILL BERCOW GO ?


The flagrant abuse of his mission by John Bercow the Speaker of the House of the House of Commons was scandalous.  He refused to apply the historic procedural rules, which led to the defeat of the ruling Conservative Party !

This now hinders the Prime Minister, Theresa May, from pursuing the mission of implimenting the result of the 2016 Referendum (BREXIT) and to ensure the withdrawal of Britain from the EU on the best possible conditions.

What will Bercow do next to ensure the future which HE wants for Britain ?  In other countries many would-be dictators started by changing the Constitution !  To achieve this he would have to keep his  job !

If MPs wish to ensure their current rights to debate freely in the House of Commons, they must do exactly that and propose a vote that gets rid of Bercow !

The freedom of speech is sacred everywhere !

EU : HOW IT COULD CHANGE IN 2019 !


Two major events are on the horizon in 2019 which could change the EU for future years :  
 
  1 - BREXIT, Britain leaves the EU with or without "Agreed Conditions",
 
  2 - The re-election of EU Parliamentary MEPs at the end of May.
      
Added to this, is one fundamental long-term European problem :  
RISING IMMIGRATION ! 
 
                           *      *     *
 
If Britain leaves the EU, there will be 69 less MEPs and ultimately no UK  
financial contributions to the EU coffers. EU overhead costs must therefore be reduced, to avoid higher costs for the 28 remaining EU member countries ! 

The EU Elections in May 2019 could also provide surprises.   National  Elections in recent years have often seen new anti-immigration Parties established locally all over Europe.   Uncontrolled immigration into the EU, aided by open external EU frontiers, will probably provoke the arrival of many new MEPs in the EU Parliament !

Simply said no country wants the "cost" of refugees from the war-torn Middle East or elsewhre !   Most Countries would prefer a system of "very selective immigration".  Even Germany (and Frau Merkel), only want "selective immigration" of "qualified workers" for its Industries !  The Human Rights of Immigrants are rarely discussed !

After the EU Election, the EU Leaders will  choose and appoint executives to some key posts in the EU.   The aim is to ensure a smoothe collaboration between the Leaders and the MEPs. 

One can imagine that newly elected MEPs will want to introduce new Immigration Rules.     

At last the EU could change for the better !
