(Below are quotes from UK pundits, phrases I heard listening to news clips describing their country now, 3 years after Brexit vote, eerily similar words to those used in USA now, 3 years after electing Trump. )
Lost credibility globally
The country is split
We're throwing around phrases, language so un civil it's shocking
Constituents want us to stop talking about Brexit just want it to be over after 3 and a half years.
(Critical issues such as health care, education, transit, the budget, are being neglected in both countries while lawmakers stay embroiled in arguments over what people voted for three years ago, saying those elections were mistakes, co-opted, controlled. )
In one Parliament session, a "remain" MP spoke of people losing jobs and businesses closing, and laughter erupted. She said, "They are laughing, Mr. Speaker. I'm talking about people's lives and the Tories are laughing."
Eerie
