The UK Parliament has taken two “meaningful votes” on Theresa May’s Brexit deal in less than six months. It has inflicted upon her the first and third largest defeats in modern history. At Acton’s Religion & Liberty Transatlanticwebsite, Rev. Richard Turnbull analyzes what the votes mean, for May and for the UK’s once-promising future as a nation leaving behind Brussels’ central planning for a future of free trade and innovation.
Rev. Turnbull, who is the the director of theCentre for Enterprise, Markets and Ethicsand a trustee of theChristian Institute, presents prehensive analysis of yesterday’s vote which concludes:
For the UK to seize all the potential of Brexit, the nation needs a leader with a vision for a free market economy, for international trade between sovereign nations, for no or minimal tariff trade, for deregulation and low taxes. This is the sort of vision a previous leader of the Conservative Party might have articulated – namely, Margaret Thatcher.
In the meantime, chaos ensues.
