As Brexit drags endlessly on, with Prime Minister Theresa May quitting if she succeeds and staying if she fails to pass a Brexit deal, Britons don't even find it darkly funny anymore.
It has been a long, almost three years since Britain voted to leave the European Union. Days away from March 29, what was supposed to be the day Brexit would finally take hold, nobody seems to have any idea what is going on. In a nutshell, here’s the situation:
But general opposition to May’s deal is where the consensus ends. On Wednesday, members of Parliament voted on eight different Brexit options—and rejected every single one of them. To those who oppose Brexit, and many who support it but only with a deal, no deal is a dystopian scenario that threatens to bring a storm of problems to the country, ranging from food and medicine shortages to grounded planes to a full-blown economic crisis.
The years-long debate, the complexity and confusion, the fierce divisions in civil society— Britons are sick of Brexit. They want it all to be over with. Many are using Twitter to vent their frustrations in tweets—sometimes mustering the gallows humor to meme their way through the country’s political and emotional crisis.
