The chaos and confus­ion unders­core the perils of unchec­ked populi­sm that has been on the rise global­lyThe March 29 Brexit deadline is just around the corner, and Britain is still confused. While an array of options — including a last-minute deal on the government’s exit strategy, a delay in Brexit, an economically disastrous no-deal Brexit, a snap election or a second vote — are there, the ultimate outcome remains anybody’s guess. If the Prime Minister fails in her pursuit of a smooth, parliament-approved Brexit, lawmakers are highly likely to force her to seek a delay to Brexit which could actually see the June 2016 decision by the people to leave the 27-nation bloc reversed. That Britain has been in a fix since the ‘yes’ vote on Brexit 33 months ago has no two opinions. The chaos and confusion underscore the perils of unchecked populism that has been on the rise globally.
