Like the Southern States said see ya, we are seeing the exact thing playout in the UK.
The mess in Congress before succession in 1861, is mirrored here.
This style of legislating, reflects spoiled children that never grew up

With UK being South Carolina, always one foot out the door from the very get go. UK never adopted the euro as their currency, never got fully onboard all the way like the other members, etc.

And it is going the way it went for South Carolina pretty much. They'll end up getting steamrolled by the larger power and history will be rewritten to make them the bad guy for challenging Germany's economic 4th Reich.

BREXIT: The EU's Civil War.
Not much of a civil war. More like a rebellious teenager wanting to move out of the parents house, but can't make up her mind about when to leave, and how to support herself.

They have had years to figure this out. Is Boris Johnson going to send the EU a Declaration of Independence, on Halloween?(The Best thing they could do)
This Corbyn guy is a coward! His is getting his pockets lined by the EU. He has only speculations. Just like the media and the DNC, was about Donald Trumps ideas, in the summer of 2016.

I doubt we will see a Civil War in England but it is possible in America if a Democrat should win in 2020 and start enacting the ridiculous schemes for our future that they are declaring at the debates. They want Rights for illegal aliens, Rights for criminals (while forgetting the pain of the victims) Dismantling Big Business/Wall Street, Healthcare schemes with no idea how to pay for them and the biggie with Disarming law abiding gun owning citizens while doing nothing to stop real crime.


Will History show that Trumps term(s) where merely a pit stop on the road that leads to the cliff side?
The cliff that the Dems seem so eager to drive us all off of and into financial ruin?

What is happening in England could be a tiny sample of what could be coming to America.

There will be an election if Parliament try to frustrate Brexit.

As for wars with Europe, I think you will find Britain has a fairly good track record of wins.

That actually does sound pretty close to the best analogy

Last time you guys had Germany(Merkel & Junkers) all up in your butt, who bailed you out?
Donald Trump is there with open arms. Corbyn is blowing smoke. Speculation after speculation, each time I sit and think... Not necessarily, frankly quite opposite. The scare tactics to keep the EU kickbacks coming his way, to build his bank account.

To complete the analogy, the EU is like the controlling parents who don't really want to allow their kid to move out and have real freedom, but they can't quite figure out a way to keep her under their thumb.
