Meghnad Desai loves to cook, watch and write about old Bollywood movies and shuttles between London, Delhi and Goa. He pursues controversies on economics, history and anything else which catches his attention. He is also a British parliamentarian sitting in the House of Lords. He has written over 25 books, over 200 articles in learned journals and hundreds of newspaper columns in UK and India.
Out of my mind: The meltdown in Britain
History has crippled politics. But don’t worry. The UK remains the fifth largest economy in the world.
How does a political system handle an existential crisis? The UK House of Commons has for a second time rejected Theresa May’s deal. Its own decision to open negotiations for withdrawal under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty (the EU Constitution) allows a two-year period for negotiations. The British Parliament voted to withdraw on March 29, 2019, as a response to the Referendum of June 2016, which voted to leave by a majority of two million in a total vote of 34 million (74 per cent turnout).
