on the plus side
there is a genuine possibilty Brexit WONT happen now, its looking more likely that there could be a second referendum next year. Polls show most people have turned against the idea of leaving the EU. Most see there is no point in leaving with the deal Theresa May has gotten.
ive just never understood how we would be better off leaving the EU, we would be fine, but better off? No.
I think if we do have a second referendum it will cause harm though at the same time though and could produce a far right party to gain ground In the UK.
but the whole thing has just shown how fucked up the current apparatus and structure of government in London is, makes democracy look terrible.
