March 29th 2018, It is exactly 365 days to the
date the UK leaves the European Union.
Many divisions, recriminations, doubts, hopes, realisations, pros and cons
about the decision to leave the EU have dominated our society since the
historic vote in June 2016.
The UK’s PM Tereasa May is leading a fractured British
nation out of a fractured European Union. Brexit will happen after all; plans
for an integrated Global economic and political system will continue.

The EU will also continue, but with a damaged ideology after
the shocks of 2016. The European Union elites were inept to the groundswell of anti-
EU opinion since the stealth introduction of the Lisbon Treaty. Brexit was the UK’s
response; dissent still exists across the European Union.
In the year to follow on from this 29th March
2018 the UK will make ground on the Global network. The EU will have hard
decisions to make about how to listen and accommodate those seeking a political
stake in this European Union. Change at the heart of the bureaucratic Superstate
machine can make that happen.
It would be a better for both Unions – UK and the EU - for economic
cooperation as well as political interconnection to prevail by 2019-2020.
The powerful European Council can impress Europe’s citizens
and the international community with a magnanimous will, a steel commitment and
a showpiece ability to deliver an orderly UK retreat from the EU - even if a
minority of swirling hawks in the Berlaymont Building are poised to swoop on
any sign of disorder in order to progress an unpopular Federalist agenda.
