Brexit Metaphor No 89.
When politicians in a country start to disagree on everything, they are sometimes reminded of Italy. “Ruling the Italians is not difficult; it is pointless.” - observed Benito Mussolini in the early part of the 20th century.
Britain is increasingly resembling Italy in its "disagree to disagree" approach. The British Parliament rejected Theresa May's Withdrawal Deal on January 15 and then rejected a vote of non-confidence on January 16.
One does start wondering what January 17 might hold in store?
